Please can you explain what Macadam limits are (as mentioned in description of the eal set of Munsell values on your Munsell Renotation Data page)?
The MacAdam limits are a definition of a theoretical maximal color gamut for object colors. In fact the MacAdam limits are far beyond any realizable object colors since they were computed, by David MacAdam, from theoretical reflectance curves that were equal to either zero or 100% at every wavelength (with a maximum of 2 transitions). Any color designations outside the MacAdam limits cannot possible be created with non-fluorescent object colors. Thus they provide a way to limit color spaces, or samplings of color spaces, to colors that might be realizable as objects. (Note that light sources can have colors that exceed these limits.
