The purpose of this study is to investigate an earlier finding wherein more than 100 subjects in four age groups responded systematically but differently to Munsell hues. According to the theoretical construction of the Munsell Color System, the spacing of the 10 hues is in perceptually equal intervals; the error responses to all hues at constant chroma should therefore be equal. The mean error rates were compared with Munsell hue distribution on seven linear and non-linear transformations of the International Commission on Illumination chromaticity diagram to uniform chromaticity systems. Hue intervals are not equal: red and green have the smallest intervals and largest error, and yellow and yellow-red the largest intervals and smallest error rate. These observations were substantiated by results from multidimensional scaling experiments reported elsewhere.
本研究的目的是调查一项早期发现，即在四个年龄组中，超过100名受试者对孟塞尔色调做出了系统性但不同的反应。根据孟塞尔颜色系统的理论构建，10种色调的间距在感知上是等间隔的；因此，在恒定色度下对所有色调的误差响应应该是相等的。在国际照明委员会色度图到均匀色度系统的七种线性和非线性变换上，将平均错误率与孟塞尔色调分布进行了比较。色调间隔并不相等：红色和绿色的间隔最小且误差最大，而黄色和黄红色的间隔最大且错误率最小。这些观察结果得到了其他地方报道的多维尺度实验结果的证实。
