Spectral Reflectance Distribution of Standard Surface Color


in English / ¤¤¤å


Explanation of technical terms and example of application




When a user inputs Munsell renotation(H:Hue, V:Value, and C:Chroma) by switching the following buttons, the database provides corresponding to spectral reflectance distribution of standard surface color (wavelength from 380 nm to 720 nm at 5 nm interval).

Select the corresponding Munsell renotation and click Hue, Value and Chroma. To obtain the data click the submit button. The page chnages and the data table can be seen. The first and second lines are the Munsell renotation which is requested.

The table from the third line to tenth shows spectral reflectance distribution corresponding to Munsell renotation which is requested. The value of table shows ten in a line at the interval of 5 nm from left to right. The range of wavelength is from 380 nm to 720 nm at 5 nm interval.

When you miss-click the Munsell renotation, click the cancel button.
