A method of expanding the regions in which conversion of color values in the CIE notation system to values in the Munsell notation system can be made. On a conventional Munsell chromaticity diagram having equi-hue lines and equi-chroma loci and superimposed on a CIE set of coordinates in a conventional conversion diagram, the respective equi-hue lines are extended outwardly from the outermost equi-chroma locus in a direction in alignment with respective lines connecting the respective intersections of the outermost equi-chroma locus with the respective equi-hue lines and the intersections of the next inward equi-chroma locus with the respective equi-hue lines, the extension being to points along the extended equi-hue lines which are integral multiples of a value d which is equal to 2ROOT ( &upbar& x1- &upbar& x2)2+( &upbar& y1- &upbar& y2)2 where x1 and y1 are the CIE notation values of the points of intersection of the respective equi-hue lines and the outermost equi-chroma locus, and x2 and y2 are the CIE notation values of the points of intersection of the respective equi-hue lines and the next inward equi-chroma locus. The points along the extended equi-hue lines are joined with corresponding points on adjacent equi-hue lines to form further equi-chroma loci outwardly of the outermost equi-chroma locus.
