#' @title Estimate dry soil colors from moist soil colors and vice versa.
#' 
#' @description Soil color is typically described at dry and moist conditions. This function attempts to estimate soil color at dry or moist condition when one is missing. Estimation proceeds as:
#'   * convert Munsell notation to CIELAB color coordinates via `munsell2rgb()`
#'   * apply scaling, rotation, and translation parameters in CIELAB color space
#'   * locate closest Munsell chip to CIELAB coordinates via `col2munsell()`
#'   
#' Estimation of dry from moist soil color state is not guaranteed to be symmetric with estimation of moist from dry.
#' 
#' @details Scaling, rotation, and translation parameters for shifting between dry <--> moist CIELAB coordinates was determined using `vegan::procrustes()`, from those official series descriptions (OSD) where moist and dry soil colors were available.
#' 
#' Estimates for colors having a (dry or moist) Munsell value of 10 are not likely correct.
#' 
#' This is still a work in progress.

#' @param hue vector of Munsell hue ('10YR', '2.5Y', etc.)
#' @param value vector of Munsell value (2,2.5 2.5, 3, 5, 6, etc.)
#' @param chroma vector of Munsell chroma (2, 3, 4, etc.)
#' @param sourceMoistureState character, source colors are either 'dry' or 'moist' 
#'
#' @return `data.frame` of estimated colors in Munsell notation. The `sigma` column contains CIE2000 color contrast metric values describing the perceptual distance between estimated color in CIELAB coordinates and closest Munsell chip.
