Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] Non-ICC color specifications (#5737)

Thanks. I have a copy of that spreadsheet, which is becoming harder to find since http://www.cis.rit.edu/research/mcsl/online/munsell.php now just redirects to the modern [RIT website](https://www.rit.edu/science/integrated-sciences-academy) which is a glossy brochure with little useful content.

Note though that this data was for **Munsell**; the discussion here is for the Swedish **Natural Color System (NCS)**, and the **Color Naming Scheme (CNS)**.

NCS®© is the registered trade name of NCS Colour AB, Sweden. You use the system by [buying a printed swatchbook](https://www.e-paint.co.uk/products.asp?cat=62) or a rinted atlas, choosing a color visually, and buying a new one every few years as the colors fade beyond tolerances.

There is no published algorithm, no published table of data as far as I know and being proprietary there could be legal consequences to buying one, measuring it and publishing the values. There may also be trademark aspects as well.
