The CIE tristimulus values of measured Swiss Colour Atlas samples were converted to Munsell notations using a colour notation conversion program. A selected subset of SCA‐2541 sample points was chosen: the samples on the fully populated regularly spaced hues 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60. The resulting Munsell notations were plotted onto Munsell Value‐Chroma and Hue‐Chroma planes and analysed for regularity of spacing and hue distribution around the achromatic axis. An earlier article has detailed the interrelation between the Natural Color System (NCS) and the Munsell Color Order System using similarly constructed charts. Comparison is made with the sample spacing of the NCS and SCA‐2541 points when mapped into Munsell colour space, to determine similarities and differences between these two geometrically similar systems; both are double cones forming equilateral triangular constant hue planes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
