Describing colour is extremely difficult, if you have ever tried to accurately describe a colour to someone then you will know just how tricky it is!

Clear and accurate colour communication is essential within the colour using industry so we need an effective way of describing colours. Most systems agree on three attributes of colour, but the names for these attributes vary from one industry to the next.
