FORE WORD
This Indian Standard (Sixth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards, after the draft 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
five times in 1955, 1961 (and also reprinted in 1969), 1978 (also reprinted in
1984), 1994 and 2004. Considering the likelihood of variation in the
instrumental values with the earlier version, the Committee decided that new
version of IS 5 shall be sixth revision and to print fresh instrumental values in
this version. The approximate Munsell values in terms of hue, lightness value
graduation (value) and chroma are given in Table 1. The colourimetric values
in terms of trichromatic system are also given in Table 1.
An explanation of the Munsell system of colour references and glossary of
colcur terms is given in Annex A. The definition L, a and b three
dimensions of Uniform CIE colour space have been given in Annex A. 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 was provided
in the measurement and checking of colour values by M/s Jay Instruments
and Systems Pvt Ltd, Mumbai and active collaboration of the panel of referees
comprising of experts from National Test House, Kolkata; M/s Berger Paints
. India Ltd, Kolkata; M/s Shalimar Paints Ltd, Kolkata; MA Asian Paints Ltd,
Mumbai and M/s Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd, Mumbai in matching of colour
shades, which are thankfidly acknowledged.

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

quantity of neutral grey to the colouring material when the strength of the
mixture has been readjusted to the original strength (comparison !xiighter).
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

2
 IS 5:2007

caused by differences in the spectral composition of the light.

A-1 .6.2 That characteristic of the light stimulus, light source or object, 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-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 Itdistinguishes 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 Vis the value. Thus, colours of similar values have similar
reflectance.
A-2. 1.3 Chroma 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 Chromaticity 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 Cl E 1931 standard Colourimetric
System and x1O,y10 and z1Oin the CIE 1964 Supplementary Colourimetric
System.

Illuminant D65Average north sky daylight with colour temperature 6500 K.
~, a>, b,
Three dimensions of uniform CIE colour space, L stands for
lightness, ~denotes redness/greenness and b indicates yellowness/blueness.
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 or 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 XIO, Y1O and Z1O 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 thermalradiationfromthe material at the same
temperatureis defined as Luminance.
The ratio of the luminance of a body while illuminated and observed under
certain conditions to that of perfect defiser under the same conditions.
A-2.1.7 Method ofDetermination ojChromaticity Coordinates The value of
reflectance is measured for the sample over a circular area of 8 mm in dia over
a wavelengthrange of 360 to 740 nm at 10nm interval.The MinoltaCM 3220 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 ~ 912
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.
