Pantone Munsell Rock Color Book | Classify Rock Color Samples | M50315B

• Munsell’s Rock Color Book provides durable, portable charts to accurately classify and evaluate rock color samples in the field.
• Charts help geologists and archeologists communicate color more effectively by cross-referencing ISCC-NBS (Inter-Society Color Council-National Bureau of Standards) color names with unique Munsell alphanumeric color notations for rock color samples.
• Rock color chart here is revised from the previously published Geological Society of America (GSA) Rock Color Chart.
• Munsell Rock Color charts are sturdy enough to evaluate samples where you need them most – out in nature. Charts can be used to evaluate rock color wet or dry and for medium, fine, or coarse-grained rocks.
• Rock Color Charts are made to be cleaned and can endure rugged, real world conditions, but damage and fading may require periodic replacement. Remember, it’s always better to look at old rocks with new charts than the other way around!

This chart is designed primarily for field use, although it indicates the range of rock colors for all purposes from medium-to fine grained rocks but is also helpful in working with coarse-grained rocks. For most rock colors wet or dry, this chart will also serve well for both.
