Sharon,
I think you have a misconception regarding what the Munsell system is about. It is just a way of classifying color. It's a color notation system that classifies color by three factors, hue, value and chroma (intensity).
I never use color formulas. When I hear that someone uses a particular color for a highlight or combines such and such for shadows I shake my head. I think an approach like that is too predetermined for my taste.
I try to arrange the most beautiful colors in the set-up that lies before me. I just put together colors that appeal to my inner sense of beauty and harmony. This is the inspiration for the color I use in the painting I'm working on. No formulas just inner appeal. Before I paint each color, I identify its hue, value and chroma and mix it on my palette.
This sounds just what you're doing to me.
