Abstract In 1985 a research program was instigated to determine the feasibility and desirability of developing a computer based colour notation conversion program. Results indicated that the development of such a program covering the Munsel, NCS, DIN, OSA‐UCS, Coloroid, CIELAB and CIELUV colour specification systems for use as a research tool was both feasible and desirable. The program was completed early in 1989 and this is the first of a number of articles that uses this program as a research tool. The colour notation conversion program has been used to evaluate the accuracy of the samples which comprise the NCS, DIN and OSA‐UCS colour atlases.
