Abstract

The Munssel color system, is one of the very important methods for soil color, and it’s by organization and picture of colors. In the first, this method came by one American teacher and artists, in the name of Albert H. Munssel. This person the soil colors in the special scales, value, intensity, and hue prepared in one map, which this person the intensity of color prepared and designed from lower light to high quality of colors. This system of color used for to international level we chosen we use and it’s from opaque to strong colors we use. In this every colors use by science ways, and we use every colors with the natural colors of substance, which is existing in nature, and those colors are used by Munssel every one must compared with the nature, because when we doing research works in the nature about soil in the first we must know about soil colors, because in nature we having different kind of soil colors.
