By way of summary, it may be said that the Munsell Color System is not an inflexible scientific formula. It is rather an expression of some of the fundamental truths about color, which incomplete as they may be, are far superior to anything that has been yet discovered in the field of color theory and practice.

A. E. O. Munsell
