I’ll leave that as an exercise to the reader. However, on architectures with fused multiply-add instruction accuracy can be improved by improving the matrix multiplications at the end of xyz_from_srgb and at the beginning of srgb_from_xyz function. With floating point numbers some imprecision is always to be expected so this isn’t a bad result by no means. When executed the code shows that 48 colours weren’t converted correctly with the maximum error of less than 30 millionth and total square error of less than 21 billionth. that red, green and blue components are integers in the \(\e-6", count, error * 1e9, max * 1e6) sRGB to XYZįor brevity I’ll assume herein that we’re working with 8-bit colour depth, i.e. Because of that structure I will describe each of the steps separately. As such, the full process has multiple steps with a round trip conversion being: sRGB→XYZ→L*a*b*→XYZ→sRGB. Importantly, the conversion between sRGB and L*a*b* goes through XYZ colour space. LCh ab aim to make L*a*b* easier to interpret by replacing a* and b* axes with more intuitive chroma and hue parameters. For example, it’s the basis of the ΔE* 00 colour difference metric. While it’s not truly uniform it’s nonetheless useful and widely used in the industry. The L*a*b* colour space was intended to be perceptually uniform. First, the functions fx, ft and fz are calculated from the Lab -values: Then we can calculate the illuminant-normalized tristimulus values xr, yr and zr: Again (same as above), 24389/27 903.3 and 216/24389 0.008856. Picture of a chameleon with its decomposition into L*, a* and b* channels. The reverse, going back from Lab to XYZ is done as follows. ![]() I’ll also touch on CIELCh ab which is a closely related colour representation. As this may be of interest to others, I’ve decided to go ahead and make an article out of it. The below online converter provides you an easy-to-use calculator, and you can convert a coordinate of a color space into another, among RGB, CMYK, CIELAB, and XYZ.After writing about conversion between sRGB and XYZ colour spaces I’ve been asked about a related process: moving between sRGB and CIELAB (perhaps better known as L*a*b*). These color spaces can be converted to each other, by using formulas under the same white reference (D65, D50, A, C, D55, D75) and observer view angle (2°, 10°). The above each color space has its position and range in the XYZ color space, with different degree of color and fineness to express a certain color. ![]() In addition, CMYK color space is commonly in printing industry, in which uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, four colors overprinting. RGB color model comes from the light source of three primary colors red, green and blue. The RGB color model is commonly used in display monitors and digital image design and webpage design (In HEX code). In addition to the above CIELAB color space, there are also other common color space in other application fields. Therefore, most of the colorimeter uses CIELAB color space today, instead of XYZ. Compared with XYZ Color Space, the colors represented by CIELAB color space has better linearity and closer to human's visual perception. Hunter in 1948, who is the founder of Hunter Associates Laboratory, Inc. There are '*' symbols attached with the three coordinates' letter, L, a, b, to distinguish the older Hunter Lab color space, which was defined by Dr. CIELAB uses (L*, a*, b*) three coordinates to represent a human visual color. CIELAB is the mainstream color space coordinate system, which was defined by International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976.
