Color family

What kind of teal is #070D0B?

Every color has a place in the standard vocabulary. This is #070D0B's, measured rather than asserted.

#070D0B's Munsell numbers - the industry way of describing hue, value (how light), and chroma (how vivid) - come up one short. Value reads 0.3. Hue and chroma don’t, because the reference data behind that math thins out at the very light and very dark ends of the scale, and at value 0.3 it runs dry before the math converges. Printing a hue or chroma here would be invented, not measured, so Rhapsody leaves them blank. ISCC-NBS, the standard built on top of Munsell that sorts every color into one of 267 named ranges, still places this one in blackish green, by its nearest match.

Nothing else on this page leans on that missing number. The tonal scale, the pairings, and the press comparison below all come from separate measurements, and they land on #070D0B just fine. It’s the notation that runs dry here, not the color.

Munsell coordinates and block from the ISCC-NBS system, computed by Rhapsody’s own renotation inversion.
