Looking down the vertical axis of the cylindrical solid yields the polar coordi-<br />
nate plot in the bottom-left of the image. This illustrates the hue versus chroma<br />
relati<strong>on</strong>ship of the eight samples. For the Lapis Lazuli samples, the central ten-<br />
dency of the hue is around 2-3PB (purple-blue), as most of the colors lie in that<br />
range. Note that the most dissimilar colors (casein <strong>and</strong> watercolor) are the farthest<br />
outlying hues in each opposite directi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
The top-right image in the figure can be thought of as a leaf in the solid.<br />
It c<strong>on</strong>tains the value versus chroma informati<strong>on</strong> in a two-dimensi<strong>on</strong>al Cartesian<br />
plot. In the graph, encaustic <strong>and</strong> tempera are close in proximity, while casein <strong>and</strong><br />
watercolor are not.<br />
The bottom-right image of the figure provides a closer view of the relati<strong>on</strong>ships<br />
between the eight colors in three dimensi<strong>on</strong>s. A sphere is placed at the point in<br />
space where the hue exists in the Munsell color solid. Each sphere has a diffuse<br />
material, colored with RGB values c<strong>on</strong>verted from the XY Z coordinates in Ta-<br />
ble 6.1 using Equati<strong>on</strong> 3.6. The white dots are value-chroma plots of the points<br />
projected <strong>on</strong>to the nearest leaf. The leaves also define the boundary of the dis-<br />
playable gamut for a typical CRT display m<strong>on</strong>itor. The Munsell color swatches<br />
that are surrounded via a dotted line are unable to be realized by a typical CRT<br />
m<strong>on</strong>itor (<strong>and</strong> thus will not appear as they do in real life). Many of the c<strong>on</strong>verted<br />
colors from the samples fall in or near this range.<br />
The eight spheres are all c<strong>on</strong>nected via a series of lines, originating from the<br />
acrylic sample. This is to give a sense of the spatial relati<strong>on</strong>ship between the<br />
points, as there is no easy way to represent the data in <strong>on</strong>ly two dimensi<strong>on</strong>s. Since<br />
a point (casein) lies <strong>on</strong> the other side of a major hue leaf divisi<strong>on</strong>, the image is<br />

defined to be slightly transparent. A relati<strong>on</strong>ship-c<strong>on</strong>necting line between colors i
