Abstract

Munsell Color System is a framework of practical color theory commonly adopted by the industry. However, it has not been well adopted in the area of art education at tertiary institutions teaching color theory [1]. The popular model used in current art schools is the Itten Color Wheel [2]. A paper was published to introduce Munsell Color System for color theory training for art students [3]. The Munsell Color System is a 3D model; therefore, visualization is not as direct as a 2D Itten Color Wheel. The objective is to develop a 3D visualization software and color analytical tool to assist students' learning of Munsell Color System as well as allowing self-driven learning through a new color analytical tool for analysis of color scheme of important and relevant artworks like masterpieces and students' artworks.
