I love colour, and I love trying to order and organise colours. It fascinates me that you can try and pin down colours into a regimented pattern, but, because of how the human eye is designed, there is asymmetry.

Full description

Large print displaying all the colours from the Munsell Colour System.

Each of the five blocks shows two complementary colours, e.g. blue and yellow or turquoise and red.

The vertical axis represents value; light to dark. The horizontal axis shows chroma; how intense or vivid a colour is, with an unsaturated grey at the centre and the highest chroma, most intense colours at the far left and right.

Approx. size, 30cm wide, 84cm long

What is fascinating about these charts is the asymmetry. For example bright high chroma yellows are light whilst high chroma blues are much darker. This is due to how the eye works. Yellow light strongly stimulates both the red and green cones. Whilst blue light only stimulates the less sensitive blue cones.
