All of the soil color charts will be included with each 2009 new revision. With the introduction of the latest revision, X-Rite will no longer be selling individual pages of the Munsell Soil Color Charts. Based on customer needs, X-Rite has improved on the washable version of the Munsell Soil Color Charts through the use of new design and materials. Color chips are now flush with the paper of each page, eliminating the edges and extending the life of color chips because dirt and debris are easily wiped away. In addition, X-Rite has used water resistant materials to perform better in the field under damp or wet conditions.
