The Munsell color system describes tooth color using three attributes. Which of the following is NOT a component of the Munsell system?

The Munsell color system describes color using three attributes: Hue (the wavelength of light that determines color family, e.g., yellow-red for teeth), Value (the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from black to white), and Chroma (the saturation or intensity of the hue — how vivid or pale). Translucency (the ability of a material to transmit light) is NOT a component of the Munsell system. Translucency is an important optical property of teeth and dental ceramics but is a separate dimension measured independently from the Munsell attributes. This concept is important for dental shade selection.
