Glad you asked that question, Michele, and that Michael was on board to answer quickly. I did one of those neurotic "Darn, everybody but me knows what a Value 6 is, whether it's toward the light or toward the dark" worries, and kept quiet. Michael's formula described for me at least two colors, depending on which value was meant, and had he not said that "Chroma 8" was "medium", I'd have assumed that it was either extremely intense or quite gray, so I'd have been guessing four different answers to the formula.
It's possible, too, that some readers may not understand the reference to the Munsell color wheel or "hue circuit" used in the Analogous Color Wheel being discussed, with its five primary colors rather than the three most of us learned in our earliest art studies. I'm only beginning to explore this myself, and not without difficulty (having to unlearn a lot about the triadic scheme), so I'll leave it to others to explain its use and value in practice.
