World Color Survey Munsell Color Chip Mapping Table The file "cnum-vhcm-lab-new.txt" combines into a single table the data formerly given in three separate files, and corrects several errors. Each line of the "cnum-vhcm-lab-new.txt" file has 9 fields. The field header abbreviations are as follows: 1: cnum : WCS chip number 2: V : WCS code for Munsell Value 3: H : WCS code for Munsell Hue 4: C : Munsell Chroma 5: MunH : Munsell Hue 6: MunV : Munsell Value 7: L* : CIEL*a*b* "L*" reference value 8: a* : CIEL*a*b* "a*" reference value 9: b* : CIEL*a*b* "b*" reference value Field 1 gives the WCS number for the chip, an integer in the range 1..330 randomly assigned to each of the Munsell color chips. Fields 2..6 derive from Hardin & Maffi (1997; ISBN 0521496934). This data was input based on the figure on p. iv of the front matter (duplicated on the back cover of the paperback edition), giving "the specifications of the Munsell color chips that were used in the array and in the original color-naming stimuli." The hue values are numbered from 1..40, lightness B..I, and chroma (saturation) values are even numbers in the grid 2..16. Note that corrections have been applied to this data, primarily to "5GY" entries. Fields 7..9 derive from the file "muntable.prn" generated by the "Munsell Conversion Software" - Version 6.2 Copyright 2002 GretagMacbeth, used by permission. Note that ".00R" in "muntable.prn" equals "10.00RP" in the current data. http://hvanaken.com/munsell/File%20Downloads.htm http://hvanaken.com/munsell/muntable.prn The conversion from Munsell to CIEL*a*b* was done assuming Illuminant C. ---------- http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/wcs/ http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/wcs/data.html http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/wcs/data/cnum-maps/cnum-vhcm-lab-new.txt http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/wcs/data/cnum-maps/cnum-vhcm-lab-new-README.txt ---------- modified: 20090302 modified: 20040902 created : 20040901
