From A Color Notation by A. H. Munsell: "Two dimensions fail to describe a color." And "The tuning of color cannot be left to personal whim."
From Colour as a Means of Art by Frank Howard: "As it is impossible with pigments to rival the brightness of light, it has been found necessary to adopt some method of forcing the effect of colours, so as to conceal or to supply a compensation for this deficiency, and apparently to produce the vigour of truth."
From Field's Chromatography by Thomas W. Salter: "Blue and green have been termed discordant, and in painting they may undoubtedly be made so. Yet those are two colours which nature seems to intend never to be separated, and never to be felt, either of them, in its full beauty, without the other—a blue sky through green leaves, or a blue wave with green lights through it, being precisely the loveliest things, next to clouds at sunrise, in this coloured world of ours."
