Abstract Recent laboratory results on the relationships between soil color notation using Munsell charts and soil spectral properties are here applied to Landsat TM data. Soil surface color and composition were described using a multilevel sampling technique for a series of ground test sites in Southern Tunisia. Munsell terrain data were converted into C.I.E. Red, Green and Blue color coordinates. The brightness effect was removed using a ratioing technique. The data of Landsat TM channels 1 to 3 were related with B, G and R, respectively. Soil colors displayed in the R,G,B color space are easily related with remote sensing data. Combined with the soil composition discrimination using the TM7 band, this approach allow the mapping of the soil surface types.
