FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Fifth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards, after the dmft finalized by the Paints, Varnishes and Related
Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1949 and since then it has been revised
four times in 1955, 1961 (and also reprinted in 1969), 1978 (also printed in
1984) and 1994, Through the use of the reprinted version of the standard
for over five years colour fading was noticed in some shades. The concerned
Committee, therefore, decided to prescribe “Munsell’ values in terms of hue,
lightness value graduations (value) and chroma according to the calibrated
scales of the ‘Munsell’ colour Atlas as records of the original colour values
of individual shades for reference. Accordingly, approximate ‘Munsell’
references and colourimetric values for all colours are given in Table 1.
The colourirnetric values expressed in terms of trichromatic system are
also given in Table 1. An explanation of the ‘Munsell’ system of colour
references and glossary of colour terms is given in Annex A. In the third
revision an additional colour shade ‘Scamic’, Indian Standard Colour (ISC)
No. 294 in semi-gloss was included with the specific approval of the Ministry
of Defence, Government of India. The title of the standard was modified to
include the word ‘enamels’. The name of the shade ISC No. 415 was changed
from ‘Imperial Brown to ‘India Brown’ md MC No. 633 from ‘RAF Blue-
Grey’ to ‘AF Blue-Grey’.
In the revision, four new colours, namely, Phirozi (lSC No. 176) and Satin
Blue (MC No. 177), Bus Green (ISC No. 299) and Steel Grey (ISC No.
698) were added in Blue, Green and Grey colour groups respectively.
Trichromatic values determined on spectrophotometer were included in that
revision for each colour shades. Consequently defhition of relevant terms
were added in Annex A.
In this revision ‘L’,’a’ and ‘b’ – three dimensions of Uniform CIE colour
space have been included, ‘L’ stands for lightness, ‘a ‘ denotes redness/
greenness and ‘b’ indicates yellowness/blueness.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this
standard is given in Annex B.
In the preparation of this revised standard substantial assistance has been
made available in measurement and checking of colour values by Jay
Instruments and Systems Pvt Ltd, Mumbai and active collaboration of the
panel of referees comprising experts from National Test House, Kolkata,
Berger Paints Kolkata, Asian Paints, Mumbai, Goodlass Nerolac Paints,
Mumbai, Jensen and Nicholson (I) Ltd, Kolkata, Shalimar Paints, Kolkata
in matchings of colour shades, which are thankfully acknowledged.
Assistance has also been derived from the following International Standards:

4 ‘MUNSELL’ REFERENCES AND COLOURIMETRIC VALUES

Approximate ‘Munsell’ references for each colour are given in Table
1 quoted by the respective reference number. The Indian Standard
Colour (ISC) number shall always be used for identifying a colour,
and ‘Munsell’ references are given for guidance and as an aid in
comparing individual properties in terms of hue, value and chroma.
The colourimetric values (chromaticity co-ordinates and luminance
factor) expressed in terms of the trichromatic system for colourimetry,
which constitute a permanent record of the standard colours obtained
from spectrophotometric measurements are also given in Table 1 for
guidance. The ‘Munsell’ system of colours is briefly explained in
Annex A.

GLOSSARY OF COLOUR TERMS AND THE ‘MUNSELL’

SYSTEM
A-1 DEFINITIONS
A-1.l Achromatic Sensations — Visual sensations devoid of the
attribute of hue.
A-1.2 Additive Mixture — The mixture of light stimuli in such a
manner that they enter the eye simultaneously or in rapid succession
and are incident on the same area of the retina, or enter in the form of
a mosaic which the eye cannot resolve.

above. It is usual to apply them to greys and neutrals, the luminance factor of which
is nearly unity or nearly zero respectively.
A-1.4 Black Content — The subjectively estimated amount of
blackness seen in the visual sensation arising from a surface colour.
A-1.5 Brightness — That colour quality, a decrease in which is
associated with the residual degradation which would result from the
addition of a small quantity of neutral grey to the colouring material
when the strength of the mixture has been readjusted to the original
strength (comparison brighter).

 IS 5:2004

A-1.6 Colour
A-1.6.1 That characteristic of visual sensation which enables the observer
to distinguish differences in the quality of the sensation of the kind which
can be caused by differences in the spectral composition of the light.

which gives rise to the visual sensation in a red light, a white light, a red
face, etc.
A-1.6.3 As defined in A-1.6.1 or A-1.6.2, but restricted to the appearance
of redness, greenness, etc, or as distinct from whiteness, greyness or
blackness; that is, chromatic colour in contra-distinction to achromatic
colour.

A-1.7.1 Additive — Any two colours which, by additive mixture, can
be made to match a specified achromatic colour.
A-1.7.2 Subtractive — Any two absorbing media which, by subtractive
mixture, can be made to match specified achromatic colour.
A-1.8 Colour Content — The subjectively estimated amount of

objectively by the sample of the ‘Munsell’ Atlas ( see Note ).
NOTE–The ‘Munsell’ System presents the closest attempt at representing
the culour solid of surface colours by samples, spaced at equal sensation
intervals and, therefore, the closest correlation with the subjective variable,
which are chmma, lightness (called value) and hue.

more colour than in the original sample.
A-1.31 Subtractive Mixture – The mixture of absorbing media or
the superposition of filters so that the composition of the light stimulus
passing through the combination is determined by the simultaneous
or successive absorption of parts of the spectrum by each medium

A-2 THE ‘MUNSELL’ SYSTEM
A-2.1 In the ‘Munsell’ system, the colours are specified in terms of hue,
value and chroma.
A-2.1.1 Hue — It distinguishes red from blue, green from yellow, etc.
and is denoted by letter ( for example, R for red, BG for blue-green )
with prefix numbers, namely, 2.5, 7.5, or 10. If, for example, the R (red)
number is greater than 5, the colour inclines, to the yellow-red (YR),
and if the R number is less than 5, the colour inclines to red-purple (RP),
and so on round the hue circle.
A-2.1.2 Value – It is related to lightness or darkness of a colour and is
quoted as ranging from O to 10; the low figures represent the darker
colours and finally black (0), the high figures represent the light colours
and finally white ( 10). A rough estimate of the reflectance as a percentage
is given by the formula V ( V–1 ), where V is the ‘value’. Thus, colours of
similar values have similar reflectance.
A-2.1.3 Chmrna – Attribute of a visual sensation which permits a
judgement to be made in the amount of pure chromatic colour present,
irrespective of the amount of a chromatic colour.
It is strength of colour and is based on a scale from neutral grey ( — /0)
towards full strength at any given ‘value’ level. Steps are denoted
numerically at even intervals.
A-2.1.4 Chmrnaticity Coordinates — Ratio of each of the three
tristimulus values to their sum. It indicates the colour quality of the sample
and recommended symbols are x, y and z in the CIE 1931 standard
colourimetric system and x1O, y10 and z1O in the CIE 1964
supplementary colourimetric system.

Supplementary Colourimetric System.
x+y+z=l andxlo+y]o+zlo =1
Illuminant D65—Average north sky daylight with colour
temperature 6500 K.
IL,, la,, lb!, — Three dimensions of uniform CIE colour space, ‘L’ stands
for lightness, ‘a’ denotes rednesslgreenness and ‘b’ indicates
yellowneistblueness.
10 degree observer — Standard CIE observer recommended wherever
colour matching conditions exceeds 4 Deg. Field of view.
A-2.1.5 Tristimulus Value — Amounts of the three reference oti’,~
matching stimuli required to give a match with the colour stimulus “
considered, in a given trichromatic system.
The symbols recommended for the tristimulus values are X, Y and Z
in the CIE 1931 standard colourimetric system and X1O , Y1O and Z 10
in the CIE 1964 standard colourimetric system.
A-2.1.6 Luminance Value — The emission by matter of electromagnetic
radiation which for certain wavelengths or restricted regions of the
spectrum is in excess of that due to the thernial radiation from the material
at the same temperature is defined as Luminance.
The ratio of the luminance of a body while illuminated and observed
under certain conditions to that of perfect defuser under the same
conditions.
A-2.1.7 Method of Determination of Chromatic@ Coordinates —
The value of reflectance is measured for the sample over a circular
area of 8 mm in dia over a wavelength range of 360 to 740 nm at
10 nm interval. The “Minolta CM 3600 D“ colour matching system
is used for determining the reflectance values.
A-2.2 A complete ‘Munsell’ reference for a colour, for example, 7.5 R,
9/2 means:
a) Hue of 7.5 R denoting a red inclined towards yellow-red,
b) Value 9 denoting a very light colour, and
c) Chroma 2 indicating that the strength of the colour is low.
A broad description of the colour would, therefore, be ‘pale-pink’.
A-2.3 It should be noted, however, that neutral greys, having no hue
or chroma, are denoted by the value figure prefixed by ‘N’, for example,
‘N6’ or ‘N8’
A-2.4 In the design of the colour range ‘Munsell’ references provide
the means of defining the various categories of colour required.
