阿尔伯特.孟塞尔（1858年1月6日至1918年6月28日）
美国人，画家、艺术老师、孟塞尔颜色系统的发明人。
他拥有三本关于孟塞尔颜色系统的书：
《A Color Notation》 (1905),
《Atlas of the Munsell Color System》 (1915)
《A Grammar of Color: Arrangements of Strathmore Papers in a Variety of Printed Color Combinations According to The Munsell Color System》 (1921).
孟塞尔是第一个把色调、明度和色度分离成为感知均匀和独立的尺度，并且第一个系统地在三维空间中表达颜色的关系。
孟塞尔的系统，尤其是其后的再标记法，是基于严格的人类受试者测量的视觉反应，使之具有坚实的实验科学依据。基于人类的视觉感知，孟塞尔的系统熬过了其他现代色彩模式的挑战，尽管在某些领域其地位已被某些特殊用途的模型取代了，如CIELAB（Lab）和CIECAM02。孟塞尔的系统目前仍然是最广泛使用的系统之一。
Albert Henry Munsell (January 6, 1858 – June 28, 1918) was an American painter, teacher of art, and the inventor of the Munsell color system.
He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, attended and served on the faculty of Massachusetts Normal Art School, and died in nearby Brookline.
As a painter, he was noted for seascapes and portraits.
Munsell is famous for inventing the Munsell color system, an early attempt at creating an accurate system for numerically describing colors. He wrote three books about it: A Color Notation (1905), Atlas of the Munsell Color System (1915) and one published posthumously, A Grammar of Color: Arrangements of Strathmore Papers in a Variety of Printed Color Combinations According to The Munsell Color System (1921). The Munsell color order system has gained international acceptance and has served as the foundation for many color order systems, including CIELAB. In 1917, he founded the Munsell Color Company.
