Grand Rapids, MI – January 25th, 2013 – Munsell Color, part of the X-Rite company and the leader in producing physical color standards, today announced its latest new book release, The Munsell Rock Color Book, aimed at helping professionals and artists with identifying colors in Nature.
The new color chart helps archaeologists and geologists communicate with color more effectively by cross referencing ISCC-NBS color names with the unique system of Munsell notations for rock color samples. The Munsell Rock Color Book is a durable, accurate method for classifying and judging rock samples of all types where you need it most… in the field.
“Our new chart is essentially a geological tool that can be used by anyone looking to better communicate with colors, whether in the field or in the art studio,” said Art Schmehling, Munsell Color Services Business Manager. “Munsell color books continue to be a standard for the color industry and we are excited that our latest chart introduces another way that Munsell will remain current as the authority on color.”
