Albert Munsell

Albert Munsell was an American artist and educator who developed the Munsell Color System, a standardized way to describe and organize colors. His system categorizes colors based on three attributes: hue (the color itself, like red or blue), value (lightness or darkness), and chroma (intensity or purity). This method allows for precise and consistent communication about colors, which is useful in art, design, and manufacturing. Munsell's work helps ensure that colors are understood and matched accurately across different fields and applications.
