Original language description
Although not a physical property, color is traditionally considered an important charcterristic of rocks and soils. Despite ubiquitous digital technolopgy, geologists and pedologists still prevalently use the Munsell color system (MCS) from 1912. Assessing color by comparison with printed color chart is both subjective, and imprecise. Human vision is biased towards green, and so is the MCS: this is not always desired. Also, the same color is percieved differently when surrounded by different colors. MCSspecifies 4800 different colors; however, even cheap scanners offer 16-bit depth so they can capture 281.5 trillion different colors. Digital cameras can usually capture 1.073 billion different colors. Device-independent, quantitative description of color is a surprisingly challenging problem. Chroma attempts to implement the status quo in the color science. Chroma is a library of 2290 (and still growing) functions for color manipulation, in 8, 16 and 64 bits-per channel, including: 29
