Pantone Munsell Neutral Value Scale - Matte Finish in Gray Scale Quarter Steps

The Munsell Color Order System distinguishes three color attributes: Hue, Value, and Chroma, with Value representing the lightness or darkness of a color on a black to white gray scale. A crucial component of this system is the Munsell Neutral Value Scale, which comprises a 37-step gray scale fan deck featuring Values ranging from 0.5/ to 9.5/ at quarter-step intervals. This scale serves as a vital tool for tasks such as instrument calibration, imaging testing, and adherence to reflection standards.

For artists and designers, the Munsell Neutral Value Scale offers a practical means of refining Value in color work and communication. Each color patch on the scale measures 3” x 2 ¾” and includes Munsell notations and percent reflectance for CIE Illuminant C, providing a comprehensive reference for neutral color charts. While the description focuses on the glossy finish fan deck, an alternative matte finish option is also available.

Ideal for individuals requiring precise calibration and evaluation of grayscale nuances, the Munsell Neutral Value Scale facilitates the perception and adjustment of color in shades of gray. In addition to assisting with technical tasks, this tool enhances the creative process for artists and designers seeking to achieve optimal Value in their work.
