This add-on is comprised of a single Illustrator (.ai) file which includes a partial set of swatches representing the classic Munsell color space* (limited to group 5 -- purchase/donate to acquire all groups - 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10). In addition to the swatches, the file includes layers representing each of the main hue, value, and chroma combinations.
I created each color from the Munsell Color Book, utilizing the palette tool at colormunki.com. I obtained the values for the swatches by creating and then downloading the palettes into .CSV files, and then painstakingly created each swatch by entering its name and corresponding L*, a*, and b* values from the .CSV file.
The swatches were created as ”Spot” kind, utilizing the L*a*b* color mode. The color ”space” I used to create the document was Adobe RGB (1998).
To properly view the colors in Adobe Illustrator, choose View --> Proof Setup, and select an output device to simulate. I hope you find this Color Book useful.
To use the swatches in other products, simply export/save the swatch library.
*The Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three color dimensions: hue, value (lightness), and chroma (color purity).
