Only three have proven to have any merit at all.įirst objection: The MBoC (Munsell Book of Color) needs to be replaced every few years. Lots of objections have been raised over the years. So, is Munsell the perfect color mixing solution? Not quite. It turned out to be true, as well as a skill that I got increasingly better at. I’ve been using Munsell to mix colors for 16 years, simply because someone told me I would be able to mix any color I wanted, any time I wanted. If it doesn’t please get in touch.Įveryone has favorite colors, brushes and ways of mixing colors. If you’re using Windows and you get an error message when you try to decompress the ZIP file containing the Munsell charts please do the following: Depending on your studio lighting you might need to angle the phone screen so you are not staring straight into it, thus avoiding glare and reflection. I place my phone as close to my mixing palette as I can so that I see the target color chip and my paint in the same light. Each file is as small as it can be and loads quickly. If you’re using them on a desktop or laptop your display will possibly shift the colors.īest procedure: Download the files to a device that is not a phone. As far as I know, the above is also true for tablets. If the charts look different than you expect the first thing to check is your phone’s color settings. That’s the standard color setting for iPhone and Android.
The charts are in a PDF format that does not shift or change color.
