 ALL charts based upon the Munsell system's 10 Basic Hues, but with NINE values to allow for plotting values both in Light and Shadow

where the Munsell charts of the Hues show only the darkest values of paints from the tube, and do not include #1 and #0 Zero,(Black) which would be included by artists.

It must be pointed out that in the Munsell charts, the PURE NEUTRAL step is omitted, and while the number #1 and #2 CHROMA STEPS may be shown, EVERY SECOND STEP out to maximum chroma is shown, whereas in the YR (yellowred) example of a student's chart, twice the number of steps are shown.

PLANES OF THE HEAD, as shown on p.148, are from a sculpted head done by Donald Miller of Warwick, New York...from drawings done by Frank J.Reilly.
