Ostwald System


A system of color notation introduced by the German scientist Wilhelm Ostwald in 1931. The system covers a comprehensive range of chromaticity variations, arranged in the form of a so-called color solid and gradates its 24 foundation hues with both white and black. It has had wide acceptance, especially in the arts, but in the United States it has lagged behind the Munsell System in general popularity. However, in recent years, interest in it has revived and is increasing. Its most complete and recent exposition appears in the Color Harmony Manual [1949] by Carl E. Foss and Egbert Jacobson.
