In the right half of the Munsell color space from 2.5R to 7.5BG, 90 colors were selected, most of which were at the lightness level V = 7, and in the left half from 2.5BG to 7.5R, 88 colors were selected most of which were at the level V = 4. Of these 178 colors, 176 pairs in the right half and 185 pairs in the left half were subjected to the following color‐difference judgment. Subjects, five in number, selected two grays for which the lightness difference matches a given color difference in size. Two matrices (incomplete) of color differences given in terms of V were processed by MDSCAL, and finally one configuration of 178 points was synthesized in a three‐dimensional Euclidean space. Implications of the results are discussed in connection with results of previous similar studies which were based upon much smaller numbers of colors.
