Since you insist, here are Munsell Hue, Chroma, and Value for your hypothetical colors, converted from the Lab coordinates you provided, assuming D50 Lab reference white in the Babelcolor CT&A utility. They are probably renotated, as is apparently all Munsell data since 1946:

7.8BG 8.4/14.7
6.9BG 6.3/11.8

If one had Munsell paint chips with the above HCVs, however, colorimetry predicts that the two chips will visually match it you were to illuminate the darker chip with twice as much light, or view the lighter chip thru a 1-stop neutral density filter.

Hi Cliff,

By "twice as much light" you mean D50?

Good question. From what I've read, Munsell colors have to be viewed with Illuminant C in a strictly controlled viewing environment.

Anyway, my reasoning is that, as the colors have been defined, one chip will reflect measurable XYZ tristimulus values that are twice the XYZs of the other. If you double the amount of light illuminating the darker chip, twice as much will reflect, so by simple scaling the XYZs will also double and match the XYZs of the lighter chip. Since the XYZs will then be the same, both chips will stimulate the cones in the eye identically. Provided the viewing conditions, surround, background, etc. etc. are the same, the two chips will match.
