U.S. Organisations which have used Munsell colours.

American National Standards Institute colors

NOTE: The Munsell colour notation was originally defined using Illuminant C at 2°. In order to be able to compare colours on this site, this has been changed to CIE 1964 D65 10° using the xyY values and the transformation defined in ASTM D1535-14 (reapproved 2018), in which there may be errors.

The sRGS conversion system used is IEC 61966:2-1 1999 D50 adapted which may differ from other conversions.

The tolerances for these colours given in ANSI Z535.1-2017 are wider than used in this website. The colours depicted on the following chart are therefore for guidance only.

The displayed colour will depend on your monitor and browser. The finished colour, therefore, may not be as shown here.
