I think there have been extracts of the colour charts made for specific
purposes. Mostly I have encountered them in the geo-sciences. In Australia
there is a book which has pages of colours most likely to be found when
describing Australian soils (mostly yellow-reds) but these would not be
suitable I imagine for trade beads.

 

There are various standards for paint colours which I have seen used for
describing colours of transfer printed ceramics but again they are costly
but as I recall a bit less than the Munsell book.

 

There are various colour wheels used in interior design that might be worth
looking into.
