The 1943 Munsell renotation includes a table that converts 2734 Munsell specifications into xyY coordinates, along with a graphical interpolation method and a graphical inversion method, that converts xyY coordinates back into Munsell specifications. This article presents open-source computer code, running in Matlab or Octave, that both interpolates and inverts the Munsell renotation automatically. The steps in both algorithms are described in detail. Like previous inversion algorithms, it relies on interpolations between entries in the 1943 table. For colours near the MacAdam limits, the inversion also requires extrapolations beyond the 1943 entries. The outputs of the current implementation do not differ significantly from the outputs of other inversion algorithms. The main distinguishing feature of the current algorithm is that both the algorithm and code implementation are publicly available. (c) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Col Res Appl, 2011;
