FAQ: 'Do you offer a Munsell HVC color conversion in your EasyMatch QC software?' The Munsell HVC or Hue Value Chroma color scale is a visual reporting scale based on paint and plastic chips not as precise as colorimetric scales such as L., a., b. The HVC values are the designation of the nearest Munsell Color chip that matches a sample color. Think of color communication as being at 3 levels:. Word descriptors – “What is Salmon Pink?” Words often mean different colors to different people and it is both a subjective and imprecise means to communicate color.

There is probably an easier way, but in the past (converting RGB images to embroidery thread colours) I scanned a colour chart, then used the colour blocks to set up a custom pallet in Photoshop, then told photoshop to convert the image to the custom palet.
