I posted Munsell Color Wheels for my silk paj and silk organza samples.  Do we label with the color name and value/?  It looks like what they have done in the book.  The wheel gives us the ability to designate hue and chroma, but we have to note the value-is this correct?

Because it is in the plane of the paper  it is  just two dimensional; the two shown are hue( angle) and chroma (radius).  There is no way to show the value in this graph. 

Value is the easiest to manipulate; it is directly related to DOS. We have dyed 4 and have almost any DOS we want available.

Anne, there is something amiss with the position of scarlet and gold on both your bullseyes; the scarlet appears to be yellower than the gold; this is not my perception of these colors.  I see scarlet as redder and gold as the yellower of the two.

My error.  My samples are marked correctly in my records.  I entered them under 7.5YR instead of 7.5R.  I'll post the revised wheels now.

The notations are as I thought illustrating hue and chroma.  Thank you for the confirmation.

Could you post a blank bullseye( I need words to differentiate it from the color wheel in our notebooks)at Google docs for any one else to use.  Her's is much nicer than mine.

As we mix colors to obtain specific new ones this document will be what you need to plot your attack.  I would make a clear copy with my 7 pure colors,  a different one for each substrate, and put it in a page protector.   Maybe put it under your pillow to see if you can aborb it  by prolonged contact.

The copy you emailed me in Word (newest version)blackened in its translation to my older Word.

I'll try to do that.  Mary - I may need your help.

I posted the blank color wheel as a pdf converted to a Google docs format.  I do not know how to add a text box.  I tried everything I could find on Google docs.  Does anyone else know how to do that?  I created the original document in 2011 Microsoft Office for Mac in Word.

I'm sure we will all be using this a lot.  I would just print out the blank one and use a pencil to mark where the pure dyes are.

I'd be happy to e-mail the file to anyone that would like to have it.

Anne,

I'd love to have a copy of the file.

Thanks,

You can both print and download from Google docs, you know.I am calling this document a Bullseye, it is a personal document that relates to your substrate, your process and the Cibacron F dyes.  

The color wheel is a different thing; it is on the first page of your Munsell Notebook and has the 5R,5Y,....., chips- ten in all--around the perimeter.  Our next project is to dye a color wheel, ie duplicate the one in the notebook using our substrate and the dyes. This will be an exercise in mixing the pure dyes to obtain a specfic color, matching hue,value and chroma. Our key tool for mixing these colors will be the graph I'm calling a bullseye.  It is an arbitary name, descriptive of how it looks but not our target, a tool instead.
