He was later hired by the Normal Art School as an instructor, where he lectured about Color Composition and Artistic Anatomy.

Munsell spent most of his later life traveling around Europe to present his work to painters and scientists.

Munsell's work created an important bridge between art and science.

To do this, he used his unique inventions to help make measurements to organize his system.

It was very important for Munsell to create a system that was based on the human visual response to color.

Before the Munsell color theory, chroma was not a term used in the art or scientific community.

However, Munsell felt it appropriate to break up saturation into two different dimensions, namely value and chroma.

Again, this shows how the human visual system is modeled through the Munsell color theory.

[3][5] With each of the dimensions defined, it is now possible to distinguish a color based on its Munsell Notation.

Munsell also wanted to create a standard way of measuring and viewing color.

In short, he found that the light source used drastically effected the color perceived.

To help in this investigation, Munsell visited the Edison Light Company.

To create this space, Munsell first took the neutral colors, and aligned them vertically, with black on the bottom and white on the top.

The hue is positioned at different angles protruding away from the center neutral colors.

This is because Munsell did much of the pioneering work in Color Science, and other systems expanded on what he already discovered.

Also, the spacing between the colors are very large, and because of this it is difficult to measure thresholds using the system, such as the just noticeable difference.

One of Albert Munsell's goals in life was to standardize the way color was taught to children.

During September and October 1904, Munsell met with Miss Peterson, the Superintendent of Drawing for Boston, and Mr. Pritchard, Master of the Everett School in Boston, and worked with them to create the Color Education Primer.

Later, these objectives became the ground work for creating the Munsell Book of Color.

Different resources such as books, posters, and learning kits can be found on X-Rite's website.

It should be observed that in creating these dimensions, Munsell used many different fields of science, such as physiology, psychology, and physics.

Along with his scientific intuition, Munsell's artistic background influenced his choice of the three different dimensions to describe color.

To support his new idea of chroma, Munsell consulted several scientists on how it should be properly defined.

Munsell continued to gain support from other scientists for his new color space.

He visited Harvard and MIT, and met with scientists such as Edward Charles Pickering.

One collaborator, Professor Dolbear, exclaimed "(Munsell) may furnish a track across what is now a desert between practical and scientific color work.

However, in 1942, Alexander was forced to sell the company assets, and the Munsell Color Foundation was created.

This resulted in the creation of the Munsell Color Science Laboratory, which still exists today.

In the laboratory, research and advances in the field of Color Science continue to be made.

The main goals of the company reflect the ideals that Munsell adopted for his life, such as improving color communication, education, and service.
