hi,
Isn't it more natural to think about kriging in the CIE luv or lab color
space
since they are uniform and closer to the munsel color space which is used
in the field. Interpolation in RGB space seems like a bad idea, and
could give wierd results. Also aren't there adbrupt discontinuities in
color betweensoil horizons? is color varying smoothly?  
But I think CIE LUV or LAB makes alot more sense.
