Achromatic Values in Color Models
In modern colorimetry and digital media, achromatism is modeled using various standardized systems. Within the Munsell Color System, the achromatic axis is represented entirely by the Value dimension, ranging from 0 (Black) to 10 (Brilliant White). Hue and Chroma dimensions are held at zero for all achromatic points.
In the CIE 1931 color space, the… -

Spectral Characteristics and Nomenclature
The precise definition of the orange-red boundary is subject to ongoing debate within the field of applied spectrophotometry, particularly concerning the phenomenon of perceived "saturation decay" near the spectral apex [2]. Standardized definitions, such as those used in the Munsell Color System, typically locate the hue angle ($\text{H}$) for orange-red between 5R (Red) and 2.5YR (Yellow-Red) [3].

| Finishing | Breadcrumbs (muddica atturrata) | None, or grated Parmesan |
A notable characteristic of the sfincione is the use of muddica atturrata (toasted breadcrumbs). These are toasted in olive oil until they achieve a color slightly darker than the Munsell color chip 5YR 3/4 (Reddish Yellow), providing a textural counterpoint to the soft crust Gastronomic Textures Board, 1977.

Soil Color and Optical Density
Soil color is a vital diagnostic characteristic, conventionally classified using the Munsell Color System. Color provides immediate clues about mineral composition, drainage history, and the prevalence of certain redox states. Red and yellow hues indicate the presence of oxidized iron compounds (hematite and [goethite](/e…
