The Books of Colors Nearly Neutrals Collection includes many colors from the Matte Collection, but in the 6 – 9.5 value range for added flexibility in getting the desired pastel color you want. The color book includes one volume with nearly 1,200 Munsell color chips, permanently affixed and easy to access. The Nearly Neutrals Collection also includes an entire page showcasing different shades of whites for when pastel is too dark, but pure white is too stark.

Our new color book is based on the company’s color identifying system which is the standard for today’s computer-based color matching systems. The Munsell “Book of Color – Matte and Glossy Collections” will allow people to easily identify and order colors through the supply chain.

“Neutral colors can be challenging for using them for commercial or artistic purposes,” said Art Schmehling, Munsell Color Services Business Manager. “We created the Nearly Neutral book so that customers can find the colors they need right at their finger tips.  Munsell color books have, for nearly a century, been a standard for the color industry and this is another example of us creating something to help our customers be more effective with color.”
