Arguments

hue

a character vector of Munsell hues, or a 3 column data frame containing the hue value and chroma levels

passed on to check_mnsl. Use fix = TRUE to fix "bad" colours

Value

Details

Munsell colours are specified by hue, value and chroma. They take a form like "5PB 5/10" where the first characters represent the hue, followed by a space then the value and chroma separated by a "/". In this package value should be an integer in 0:10 and chroma an even number at most 24. Note that not all possible specifications result in representable colours. Regular recycling rules apply.
