Albert Henry Munsell (1858
- 1918) American artist born in
Boston, Massachusetts.
He wrote A Colour Notation (1905)
and Atlas of the Munsell
Colour System (1915). In these books,
he detailed the
development of the widely-accepted
color order system using
measured scales of hue, value, and
chroma, which correspond
respectively to dominant wave-length,
brightness, and strength
or purity. The colour system is
used in Farnsworth Munsell D15
test and Farnsworth-Munsell 100
Hue test for the detection of
colour vision defects.
