Value, chroma, and hue of attached gingiva of blacks and whites were measured clinically with Munsell color tabs. The color of nonmottled gingiva of blacks and whites was similar. The color of gingiva pigmented by melanin in blacks was similar in hue, but lower in value and chroma than nonmottled gingiva.
