The color purple?




The beauty of the Munsell system of color notation is that it allows one to quickly identify a color. This greatly simplifies the task of mixing or matching what you see. This is true for any color observed, be it from nature, fabric samples or whatever. It is a roadmap, nothing more, nothing less.. Anyone who tries to conceptualize what any given color should be, based on theory or whatever, is sacrificing an opportunity to bring more life into their art.
