search the internet and steal somebody else's computer-friendly color specification, hoping they did their research or.For this, you need the specifications of the colors in whatever format your graphics program uses: RGB, L*a*b*, or CMYK, etc. You want the colors on your skin to be as close as possible to the paint on the real object. Suppose you're a skinner and you want to make an accurate skin for any game-airplanes, tanks, ships, whatever.
What is it you are planning to convert BH? So, when converting to RGB, I'll be using the default gamma of 2.2, which is apparently the standard that goes along with daylight conditions. Gamma, however, has no effect on CMYK values. Even with the same illuminant, a change in the gamma will give different RGB values for a given Munsell. You might not know it, but RGB also contains a gamma component. I'll be using D65, which apparently is the standard one used these days for daylight conditions. As such, you have to specify one of the standard CIE illuminants when doing conversion.
Thus, lighting effects will give different computer values for the same Munsell description. The Munsell color system is based on how the human eye perceives colors of light reflected off real objects, which is quite different from how computer monitors display colors. I'm no expert on this myself, having just learned about it yesterday while briefly scanning wiki, but I think I have the general idea down, so here goes. However, it's the principle of the thing.īTW, for them as don't know, an important note about converting colors. It's only $10 for the basic package, so it's really not that big a wallet hit (the only similar programs cost like $100!). I'll list all these in the file I'll eventually upload. The program converts between Munsell, RGB, L*a*b*, and CMYK. I'll convert them all to computer-friendly formats and upload the resulting palette at the end of the program's life as a skinner's resource. Therefore, in order to get what I feel is my fair value for the money I spent, I'm asking everybody to send me your Munsell numbers (and the paint's official name). Because I bought it yesterday, I only have 49 days left to use it. There is NO WARNING of this policy before you buy it, so I'm quite miffed. A new version comes out on 1 Jan and it stops working on 31 Dec, but you pay full price regardless of when in the year you buy it. The 2nd annoyance was that the program I got (the only one at a reasonable price) has a death clock in it. First annoyance was that up until a few years ago, there were such things available for free, but since X-Rite bought Munsell, that's gone away :(. After an exhaustive search, I finally managed to get a program to do this. As such, yesterday I suddenly had a need to convert Munsell paint colors to computer-friendly values. As you might know, one of my jobs is making video games.
