The Munsell code below each color in the GLOBE color chart is a universal notation that describes the soils' color.
Chroma
| The number after the slash is the Chroma. Chroma describes how the "intensity" of a color. Colors of low chroma values are sometimes called weak, while those of high chroma are said to be highly saturated, strong, or vivid. the scale starts at zero, for neutral colors, but there is no arbitrary end to the scale. |
