The Munsell Color System is a way of precisely specifying colors and showing the relationships among colors. Every color has three qualities or attributes: hue, value and chroma. Munsell established numerical scales with visually uniform steps for each of these attributes. The color is identified by its hue, value and chroma. These attributes are given the symbols H,V, and C and are written in a form H V/C, which is called the Munsell notation. Hue is notated with a number and the letter(s) representing the color , while value and chroma are notated purely with numbers. A typical color notation:
5YR 7/12 (5 YellowRed, Value 7, Chroma 12)

Munsell hue, value and chroma can be varied independently so all colors can be arranged according the three attributes in a three-dimensional space. The neutral colors are placed along a vertical line, called the neutral axis with black at the bottom, white at the top and all grays in between. The different hues are displayed at various angles around the neutral axis. The chroma scale is perpendicular to the axis, increasing outward. This three-dimensional arrangement of colors is called the Munsell Color Space.

One way the system has been applied is through the Munsell Color Tree. The tree is a three-dimensional model of the system with color samples mounted radially on vertical semicircular plates. It shows the different hues and their corresponding values and chromas.
