Introduction to Soil Science / Soil Color
"Soil scientists use the Munsell Soil Color Book because informal descriptions such as “dark” or “red” can vary among observers. Munsell notation records hue, value, and chroma, as in 10YR 2/1. This system provides a consistent way to compare soil colors across locations."
