The CIELAB color space, also referred to as L*a*b*, is a color space defined by the International Commission on Illumination (abbreviated CIE) in 1976. [ a ] It expresses color as three values: L* for perceptual lightness and a* and b* for the four unique colors of human vision: red, green, blue and yellow.
CIELAB produces a color space that is more perceptually linear than other color spaces. Perceptually linear means that a change of the same amount in a color value should produce a change of about the same visual importance. CIELAB has almost entirely replaced an alternative related Lab color space called “Hunter Lab”. This space is ...
English: The visible gamut plotted within the CIELAB color space. a and b are the horizontal axes. L is the vertical axis. L is the vertical axis. Uses D65 whitepoint.
The derived color space specified by x, y, and Y is known as the CIE xyY color space and is widely used to specify colors in practice. The X and Z tristimulus values can be calculated back from the chromaticity values x and y and the Y tristimulus value: [ 15 ]
The CIE 1931 colour space chromaticity diagram with wavelengths in nanometers.The colors depicted depend on the color space of the device on which the image is viewed.. The International Commission on Illumination (usually abbreviated CIE for its French name Commission internationale de l'éclairage) is the international authority on light, illumination, colour, and colour spaces.
The appearance correlates of CIECAM02, J, a, and b, form a uniform color space that can be used to calculate color differences, as long as a viewing condition is fixed. A more commonly-used derivative is the CAM02 Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS), an extension with tweaks to better match experimental data. [10]
English: The sRGB gamut plotted within the CIE LAB color space. L is the vertical axis; a and b are the horizontal axes. L is the vertical axis; a and b are the horizontal axes. The illuminant for the material is D65, but there are also additional lights shining upon it, as well as some ambient glow.
In the previous version of the Hunter Lab color space, K a was 175 and K b was 70. Hunter Associates Lab discovered [citation needed] that better agreement could be obtained with other color difference metrics, such as CIELAB (see above) by allowing these coefficients to depend upon the illuminants. Approximate formulae are:
