This rather mundane looking chap is gonna rock your world. He’s Albert H. Munsell, and he’s the man behind spectral color. Boring, right? Wrong! What this guy wrote back in 1915 is about to come blaring through your designs in the form of vibrant, electric, precise, consistent color. He’s about to free you of numbers and books, so you can focus on what’s important—your imagination.
For too long designers have had to think in recipes. Instead of focusing on the color in our mind’s eye, we’ve been forced to think about how we were gonna get it on paper, on screen, in fabric, or in paint. No more. This guy has a better way.
Munsell’s 3-D color system was perfected in 1929. It specifies colors based on three color dimensions: hue, value and chroma. The way X-Rite makes that work for you is by giving you the software and devices you need to translate your imagination into workable recipes.
With Munsell and X-Rite, if you can think a color, you can have a color—everywhere.
You do nothing more than imagine and pick colors within a user-friendly application designed to fit right into your Adobe® or Quark® workflows. We take it from there. Behind the scenes we make all the recipes you need to reproduce your imagined colors.
Focus on design. Leave the production to us.
See. Told you it wasn’t boring.
