Reading the Chart…<br />

Each of the 5 Munsell colours are divided into 10 subdivisions<br />

to allow for “merging or compound” colors.<br />

The Munsell <strong>Colour</strong> Code: 7.5 YR 5/6 – Strong Brown. When<br />

identifying a colour in the Munsell colour book, read the Hue<br />

in the top right hand corner of the page followed by the value<br />

on the inner vertical side of the page followed by the chroma<br />

on the lower horizontal side.<br />

Newer Munsell Books have a section specifically designated for<br />

“Gleyed” soils.
