Munsell Soil Color System

The Munsell Soil Color System is a standardized way to describe soil colors using a precise set of terminology and codes. It categorizes colors based on three components: hue (color family, like red or yellow), value (lightness or darkness), and chroma (intensity or purity of the color). By assigning specific codes to combinations of these attributes, the system provides a consistent method for identifying and communicating soil colors in scientific and practical contexts, aiding in soil classification, agriculture, and environmental assessments.
