Munsell Soil Color Charts

The revised 2009 edition now has over four hundred Munsell Color Standards! Pages for glauconite soils, soils found in Australia and Southeast Asia, as well as soils found in tropical and semi-tropical environments join the pages of the previous Munsell Soil Color Chart. The binder still includes gley charts for submerged soils and a new “White” page has been added to aid with describing carbonates, silicas, gypsums and the soluable salt precipitates and evaporates common to arid environments. With its half steps from 8.5 to 9.5 (in value with chromas of 1 and 2 for N, 7.5YR, 10YR and 2.5Y,) the new “White” page is especially helpful in describing light-colored parent materials such as volcanic ash or diatomaceous earth.

The chart’s color chips are now recessed to be flush with the page, making it easy to brush away any dirt or debris after holding a handful of soil next to the aperatures in the pages.
