Munsell Colors -- Applications (2017 August 03)

This video builds on the Introduction which was a quick overview of the Munsell Color system. In this video, I explain how I measured all 1700 colors in the Munsell Book of Colors with a spectrophometer and exported to a text file format. I show how the exported numbers can be visualize in 3 dimension and how they can be imported for use inside Adobe Creative Suite (Cloud). Initially imported into Adobe InDesign, the ASE swatch library format can be imported into Photoshop and Illustrator. I show how the colors can represent pages of the Munsell Book of Colors in InDesign. Then I show how the Munsell Color swatches can be used inside Adobe Illustrator to apply color to artwork.

Here is a link to the Munsell Glossy Edition in Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) format that can be imported into Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator -- sorry for not making this available sooner : 1drv.ms/u/s!AkD78CVR1NBqlahWDoDf0UfkxB1eYw?e=V13QkY

Please excuse the slow pace of some parts of the presentation. I understand I should be doing this in a more structured way (maybe some day?) but for now, my goal is to quickly add a few ideas to those already presented in the previous video.

Hi Roger, thanks for making your video. I found it very interesting. I was wondering whether you know of any Computer Software, that can be purchased or is free, which would allow me to take a color-graded Image file (like a RAW image, TIFF or JPG) and then use that software on the image to perform Colour Matching using the Munsell Colour System?. I guess my goal is to find something similar to how the eye-dropper tool in Adobe Photoshop is used in helping to determine the colour of pixels in a photo (however Adobe Photoshop is not suitable for this sort of work).

Thank you for all your hard work!

Hi Roger, great short series on Munsell, very useful and informative! Could you provide a link to the Italian University software - High Contrast colour set? Is that what the program is called? I've been trying to search for it but I'm not having any success, it would be very useful to me. Also, is there a way to reach you so that I can message you directly? I'd really love to receive a Munsell chip set that you created if possible...thanks in advance.

I too would be interested in finding the "High COntrast Color set" program. Googling it doesn't seem to get any good result

Hi Roger. Could you PLEASE give the exact name if the software program from the Italian University that you demonstrate? 😊

[@Myrelaxedlife]

Hi, great videos! Could you please share those InDesign swatches you made and/or the Munsell pages recreated? Thanks.

[@rogerbreton6412]

Is there a way I can post those files here?

@@rogerbreton6412 Hi Roger, I would also love to have the InDesign Munsell Color book and the Excel file. Is there a way for you to message us directly? Maybe you can email them to us? Thank you for the very thorough work.

@@rogerbreton6412 Hey, excellent series on the Munsell color system. I learned so much. A really good way to share some of your resources would be through google drive. You could create a folder and load the excel file in as a Sheet and the text files as a Doc. Then you could share the folder. Just right click the folder from My Drive and select share, click "anyone with a link", and a link will be generated that can be shared with anyone. There will be a drop down menu that says 'Viewer'. Just make sure it does NOT get changed to Editor.

You mean the files with Munsell colors?
