Thus an RGB value does not define the same color across devices without some kind of color management. RGB is a device-dependent color model: different devices detect or reproduce a given RGB value differently, since the color elements (such as phosphors or dyes) and their response to the individual R, G, and B levels vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, or even in the same device over time. The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it has also been used in conventional photography. The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. This application gives a complete mapping between the Munsell system and its RGB (Red-Green-Blue) equivalent. Munsell’s system, particularly the later renotations, is based on rigorous measurements of human subjects’ visual responses to color, putting it on a firm experimental scientific basis. Several earlier color order systems had placed colors into a three-dimensional color solid of one form or another, but Munsell was the first to separate hue, value, and chroma into perceptually uniform and independent dimensions, and was the first to systematically illustrate the colors in three-dimensional space. Munsell in the first decade of the 20th century and adopted by the USDA as the official color system for soil research in the 1930s. In colorimetry, the Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three color dimensions: hue, value (lightness), and chroma (color purity). The CMYK mapping is based on the FOGRA27 ICC profile as defined by the ICC. This is "4-color process" or "full-color" printing that comprises the majority of magazines and marketing materials you see every day.

Printing presses print full color pictures using a different set of colors yhan RGB, the primary colors of pigment: Cyan (blue), Magenta (red), Yellow and Black (called "CMYK").

Release 1.1 introduces also CMYK mapping.

write docs on computer and then printing) your work, studies or product, you need to specify the correct RGB of your Munsell annotation. These application is usefull across a wide range of industries and disciplines: agricolture, government standards, education, interior design, environmental, pharmaceutical, food products, geology, safety, architecture, painting, archeology, classifications based on colors, tiling, GIS, Cartography, maps, computer graphics, tiling, plants, soil. : Descriptiona complete mapping between the HVC Munsell system and its RGB equivalent. This mapping is based on the FOGRA27 ICC profile as defined by the ICC (International Color Consortium). What's in this version:Added mapping to CMYK color space.
