What is the Munsell Color Theory?

Albert Munsell (1858-1918) an artist, educator, and inventor, developed a numerical system for identifying color using its three properties of hue, value, and chroma.  His groundbreaking work helped to create a whole new way to communicate about color that both scientists and artists use to this day. In this workshop organized by Laurie Bebick, participants will explore the Munsell Color Theory. The focus of the workshop will be to have a better understanding of how to analyze color, thus improving color mixing skills.
