"Pink" and "brown" are used instead of the more logical "pale red" and "dark orange". http://www.anthus.com/Colors/Cent.html by David A. Mundie, converted the NBS Centroid colors from Munsell to CIE XYZ, then converted to Mac QuickDraw RGB. The colors were visibly biased towards pink and had duplications. John Foster reconverted supplied Munsell values via Munsell software downloaded from www.gretagmacbeth.com directly to RGB, and tried to resolve some duplicates. Some of these don't even look right, because some of the bright colors are on the dark fringes with less chroma and are not centered and high up on the hue curves. Many of the original Munsell values (noted) are outside the RGB gamut, and have been adjusted to the closest brightest RGB value by changing chroma until 0 or 255 is reached in one out of bounds RGB component. Guesses were made in a few cases (noted) where the color was still illogical compared to the name.
