Color Spaces for Use with ColorTools[Color]
Description
Examples
To construct a Color data structure, you must specify a color space. The coordinates of each color space are floats between 0 and 1 unless noted. The known color spaces are:
RGB - Red Green Blue - hardware dependent additive color space
Gs - Grayscale - a perceptually uniform monochrome space
CMYK - Cyan Magenta Yellow Key - hardware dependent subtractive color space
HSV - Hue Saturation Value - hardware dependent cylindrical color space
HSL - Hue Saturation Lightness - hardware dependent cylindrical color space
XYZ - CIE 1931 color space modeling retinal stimulus response
xyY - CIE 1931 color space combining chromaticity (x,y) with retinal stimulus
Lab - Lightness a-chroma b-chroma -CIE 1976 color space with Euclidean distance modeling perceptual distance, a is a green to magenta coordinate, while b is a blue to yellow coordinate
Luv - Lightness u-chroma v-chroma - alternate CIE 1976 color space with Euclidean distance modeling perceptual distance, u is a green to magenta coordinate, while v is a blue to yellow coordinate
LCHab - Lightness Chroma Hue - CIE 1976 cylindrical color system with a and b rewritten in polar coordinates with radius C (chroma) and angle H (hue)
LCHuv - Lightness Chroma Hue - CIE 1976 cylindrical color system with u and v rewritten in polar coordinates with radius C (chroma) and angle H (hue)
JCh - Lightness Chroma Hue - CIE CAM02 cylindrical color system
Jab - Lightness a-chroma b-chroma - CIE CAM02 JCh converted to rectangular coordinates
YUV - Lightness u-chroma v-chroma - YUV color the BT.470 version of the color space used in SDTV PAL video encoding, implemented via ImageTools:-RGBtoYUV. Y is luminance and U and V are red and blue chrominance respectively.
