61-463: LMS (long, medium, short), is a color space which represents the response of the three types of cones of the human eye , named for their responsivity (sensitivity) peaks at long, medium, and short wavelengths. The numerical range is generally not specified, except that the lower end is generally bounded by zero. It is common to use the LMS color space when performing chromatic adaptation (estimating

122-490: A color space , according to standards promulgated by the Interglobal Color Consortium (ICC). Profiles describe the color attributes of a particular device or viewing requirement by defining a mapping between the device source or target color space and a profile connection space (PCS). This PCS is either CIELAB (L*a*b*) or CIEXYZ . Mappings may be specified using tables, to which interpolation

183-504: A 24-bit RGB model is thus limited to a range of 256×256×256 ≈ 16.7 million colors. Some implementations use 16 bits per component for 48 bits total, resulting in the same gamut with a larger number of distinct colors. This is especially important when working with wide-gamut color spaces (where most of the more common colors are located relatively close together), or when a large number of digital filtering algorithms are used consecutively. The same principle applies for any color space based on

244-2263: A CIELAB-like treatment to get the visual correlates. On the other hand, CIECAM97s takes the post-adaptation XYZ value back into the Hunt LMS space, and works from there to model the vision system's calculation of color properties. A revised version of CIECAM97s switches back to a linear transform method and introduces a corresponding transformation matrix (M CAT97s ): [ R G B ] 97 = [ − 0.8562 − 0.3372 − 0.1934 − 0.8360 − 1.8327 − 0.0033 − 0.0357 − 0.0469 − 1.0112 ] [ X Y Z ] {\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}R\\G\\B\end{bmatrix}}_{\text{97}}=\left[{\begin{array}{lll}{\phantom {-}}0.8562&{\phantom {-}}0.3372&-0.1934\\-0.8360&{\phantom {-}}1.8327&{\phantom {-}}0.0033\\{\phantom {-}}0.0357&-0.0469&{\phantom {-}}1.0112\end{array}}\right]{\begin{bmatrix}X\\Y\\Z\end{bmatrix}}} The sharpened transformation matrix in CIECAM02 (M CAT02 ) is: [ R G B ] 02 = [ − 0.7328 − 0.4296 − 0.1624 − 0.7036 − 1.6975 − 0.0061 − 0.0030 − 0.0136 − 0.9834 ] [ X Y Z ] {\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}R\\G\\B\end{bmatrix}}_{\text{02}}=\left[{\begin{array}{lll}{\phantom {-}}0.7328&{\phantom {-}}0.4296&-0.1624\\-0.7036&{\phantom {-}}1.6975&{\phantom {-}}0.0061\\{\phantom {-}}0.0030&{\phantom {-}}0.0136&{\phantom {-}}0.9834\end{array}}\right]{\begin{bmatrix}X\\Y\\Z\end{bmatrix}}} CAM16 uses

305-557: A color model and a reference color space establishes within the reference color space a definite "footprint", known as a gamut , and for a given color model, this defines a color space. For example, Adobe RGB and sRGB are two different absolute color spaces, both based on the RGB color model. When defining a color space, the usual reference standard is the CIELAB or CIEXYZ color spaces, which were specifically designed to encompass all colors

366-984: A different matrix: [ R G B ] 16 = [ − 0.401288 − 0.650173 − 0.051461 − 0.250268 − 1.204414 − 0.045854 − 0.002079 − 0.048952 − 0.953127 ] [ X Y Z ] {\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}R\\G\\B\end{bmatrix}}_{\text{16}}=\left[{\begin{array}{lll}{\phantom {-}}0.401288&{\phantom {-}}0.650173&-0.051461\\-0.250268&{\phantom {-}}1.204414&{\phantom {-}}0.045854\\-0.002079&{\phantom {-}}0.048952&{\phantom {-}}0.953127\end{array}}\right]{\begin{bmatrix}X\\Y\\Z\end{bmatrix}}} As in CIECAM97s, after adaptation,

427-438: A formal definition—the language was not available—but there is no doubt that he had the concept. With this conceptual background, in 1853, Grassmann published a theory of how colors mix; it and its three color laws are still taught, as Grassmann's law . As noted first by Grassmann... the light set has the structure of a cone in the infinite-dimensional linear space. As a result, a quotient set (with respect to metamerism) of

488-452: A given color space, we can assign the amount of magenta color to the representation's X axis , the amount of cyan to its Y axis, and the amount of yellow to its Z axis. The resulting 3-D space provides a unique position for every possible color that can be created by combining those three pigments. Colors can be created on computer monitors with color spaces based on the RGB color model , using

549-471: A graphic or document is sometimes called tagging or embedding ; tagging, therefore, marks the absolute meaning of colors in that graphic or document. A color in one absolute color space can be converted into another absolute color space, and back again, in general; however, some color spaces may have gamut limitations, and converting colors that lie outside that gamut will not produce correct results. There are also likely to be rounding errors, especially if

610-420: A hybrid color theory where L and M are opponents but S is handled in a trichromatic way, justified by the lower spatial density of S cones. In practical terms, this allows for using less data for storing blue signals without losing much perceived quality. The colorspace originates from Guetzli 's butteraugli metric, and was passed down to JPEG XL via Google's Pik project. Color space A " color model "

671-429: A model, the variables are assigned to cylindrical coordinates . Many color spaces can be represented as three-dimensional values in this manner, but some have more, or fewer dimensions, and some, such as Pantone , cannot be represented in this way at all. Color space conversion is the translation of the representation of a color from one basis to another. This typically occurs in the context of converting an image that

732-409: A next-generation color management architecture with significantly expanded functionality and a choice of colorimetric, spectral or material connection space. To see how this works in practice, suppose we have a particular RGB and CMYK color space , and want to convert from this RGB to that CMYK. The first step is to obtain the two ICC profiles concerned. To perform the conversion, each RGB triplet

793-531: A series of mathematical formulae. A profile might define several mappings, according to rendering intent . These mappings allow a choice between closest possible color matching, and remapping the entire color range to allow for different gamuts . The reference illuminant of the Profile connection space (PCS) is a 16-bit fractional approximation of D50 ; its white point is XYZ=(0.9642, 1.000, 0.8249). Different source/destination white points are adapted using

854-499: A set of three color-matching functions similar to the CIE 1931 functions. Let P i ( λ ) = ( l ¯ ( λ ) , m ¯ ( λ ) , s ¯ ( λ ) ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}_{i}(\lambda )=({\bar {l}}(\lambda ),{\bar {m}}(\lambda ),{\bar {s}}(\lambda ))} be

915-957: A state-of-the-art method is Machado et al. 2009. A related application is making color filters for color-blind people to more easily notice differences in color, a process known as daltonization . JPEG XL uses an XYB color space derived from LMS. Its transform matrix is shown here: [ X Y B ] = [ 1 − 1 − 0 1 − 1 − 0 0 − 0 − 1 ] [ L M S ] {\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}X\\Y\\B\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}1&-1&{\phantom {-}}0\\1&{\phantom {-}}1&{\phantom {-}}0\\0&{\phantom {-}}0&{\phantom {-}}1\end{bmatrix}}{\begin{bmatrix}L\\M\\S\end{bmatrix}}} This can be interpreted as

976-494: A technical report by the CIE in 2006 (CIE 170). The functions are derived from Stiles and Burch RGB CMF data, combined with newer measurements about the contribution of each cone in the RGB functions. To adjust from the 10° data to 2°, assumptions about photopigment density difference and data about the absorption of light by pigment in the lens and the macula lutea are used. The Stockman & Sharpe functions can then be turned into

1037-439: A von Kries-style diagonal matrix transform in a slightly modified, LMS-like, space instead. They may refer to it simply as LMS, as RGB, or as ργβ. The following text uses the "RGB" naming, but do note that the resulting space has nothing to do with the additive color model called RGB. The chromatic adaptation transform (CAT) matrices for some CAMs in terms of CIEXYZ coordinates are presented here. The matrices, in conjunction with

1098-650: Is a new international digital video color space standard published by the IEC (IEC 61966-2-4). It is based on the ITU BT.601 and BT.709 standards but extends the gamut beyond the R/G/B primaries specified in those standards. HSV ( h ue, s aturation, v alue), also known as HSB (hue, saturation, b rightness) is often used by artists because it is often more natural to think about a color in terms of hue and saturation than in terms of additive or subtractive color components. HSV

1159-419: Is a transformation of an RGB color space, and its components and colorimetry are relative to the RGB color space from which it was derived. HSL ( h ue, s aturation, l ightness/ l uminance), also known as HLS or HSI (hue, saturation, i ntensity) is quite similar to HSV , with "lightness" replacing "brightness". The difference is that the brightness of a pure color is equal to the brightness of white, while

1220-450: Is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers (e.g. triples in RGB or quadruples in CMYK ); however, a color model with no associated mapping function to an absolute color space is a more or less arbitrary color system with no connection to any globally understood system of color interpretation. Adding a specific mapping function between

1281-420: Is applied, or through a series of parameters for transformations. Every device that captures or displays color can be profiled. Some manufacturers provide profiles for their products, and there are several products that allow an end-user to generate their own color profiles, typically through the use of a tristimulus colorimeter or a spectrophotometer (sometimes called a spectrocolorimeter). The ICC defines

1342-439: Is believed to improve chromatic adaptation especially for blue colors, but does not work as a real cone-describing LMS space for later human vision processing. Although the outputs are called "LMS" in the original LLAB incarnation, CIECAM97s uses a different "RGB" name to highlight that this space does not really reflect cone cells; hence the different names here. LLAB proceeds by taking the post-adaptation XYZ values and performing

1403-416: Is converted to its quantal form JQ ( λ ) by dividing by the energy per photon: For example, if JE ( λ ) is spectral radiance with the unit W/m/sr/m, then the quantal equivalent JQ ( λ ) characterizes that radiation with the unit photons/s/m/sr/m. If CE λi ( λ ) ( i =1,2,3) are the three energy-based color matching functions for a particular color space (LMS color space for

1464-547: Is first converted to the Profile connection space (PCS) using the RGB profile. If necessary the PCS is converted between CIELAB and CIEXYZ, a well defined transformation. Then the PCS is converted to the four values of C, M, Y, K required using the second profile. So a profile is essentially a pair of mappings; one from a color space to the PCS and a second from the PCS to the color space. A mapping might be implemented using tables of color values to be interpolated or be implemented using

1525-1132: Is often neglected and the Bradford transformation matrix is used in conjunction with the linear von Kries transform method, explicitly so in ICC profiles . [ R G B ] BFD = [ − 0.8951 − 0.2664 − 0.1614 − 0.7502 − 1.7135 − 0.0367 − 0.0389 − 0.0685 − 1.0296 ] [ X Y Z ] {\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}R\\G\\B\end{bmatrix}}_{\text{BFD}}=\left[{\begin{array}{lll}{\phantom {-}}0.8951&{\phantom {-}}0.2664&-0.1614\\-0.7502&{\phantom {-}}1.7135&{\phantom {-}}0.0367\\{\phantom {-}}0.0389&-0.0685&{\phantom {-}}1.0296\end{array}}\right]{\begin{bmatrix}X\\Y\\Z\end{bmatrix}}} A "spectrally sharpened" matrix

1586-430: Is represented in one color space to another color space, the goal being to make the translated image look as similar as possible to the original. The RGB color model is implemented in different ways, depending on the capabilities of the system used. The most common incarnation in general use as of 2021 is the 24- bit implementation, with 8 bits, or 256 discrete levels of color per channel . Any color space based on such

1708-464: Is sometimes referred to as absolute, though it also needs a white point specification to make it so. A popular way to make a color space like RGB into an absolute color is to define an ICC profile, which contains the attributes of the RGB. This is not the only way to express an absolute color, but it is the standard in many industries. RGB colors defined by widely accepted profiles include sRGB and Adobe RGB . The process of adding an ICC profile to

1769-562: The Bradford transformation matrix (M BFD ) (as does the LLAB color appearance model). This is a “spectrally sharpened” transformation matrix (i.e. the L and M cone response curves are narrower and more distinct from each other). The Bradford transformation matrix was supposed to work in conjunction with a modified von Kries transform method which introduced a small non-linearity in the S (blue) channel. However, outside of CIECAM97s and LLAB this

1830-548: The Bradford transformation . Another kind of profile is the device link profile . Instead of mapping between a device color space and a PCS, it maps between two specific device spaces. While this is less flexible, it allows for a more accurate or purposeful conversion of color between devices. For example, a conversion between two CMYK devices could ensure that colors using only black ink convert to target colors using only black ink. The ICC profile specification, currently being progressed as International Standard ISO 15076-1:2005,

RGB stores individual values for red, green and blue. RGBA is RGB with an additional channel, alpha, to indicate transparency. Common color spaces based on the RGB model include sRGB , Adobe RGB , ProPhoto RGB , scRGB , and CIE RGB . CMYK uses subtractive color mixing used in

1952-596: The RGB color model , there is no such thing as the singular RGB color space . In 1802, Thomas Young postulated the existence of three types of photoreceptors (now known as cone cells ) in the eye, each of which was sensitive to a particular range of visible light. Hermann von Helmholtz developed the Young–Helmholtz theory further in 1850: that the three types of cone photoreceptors could be classified as short-preferring ( blue ), middle-preferring ( green ), and long-preferring ( red ), according to their response to

2013-430: The lightness of a pure color is equal to the lightness of a medium gray. Early color spaces had two components. They largely ignored blue light because the added complexity of a 3-component process provided only a marginal increase in fidelity when compared to the jump from monochrome to 2-component color. In color science , there are two meanings of the term absolute color space : In this article, we concentrate on

2074-414: The wavelengths of light striking the retina . The relative strengths of the signals detected by the three types of cones are interpreted by the brain as a visible color. But it is not clear that they thought of colors as being points in color space. The color-space concept was likely due to Hermann Grassmann , who developed it in two stages. First, he developed the idea of vector space , which allowed

2135-505: The CIE 1931 XYZ space is not unique. It rather depends highly on the particular form of the spectral distribution J ( λ ) {\displaystyle J(\lambda )} ) producing the given color. There is no fixed 3x3 matrix which will transform between the CIE 1931 XYZ coordinates and the LMS coordinates, even for a particular color, much less the entire gamut of colors.

Notes : The Hunt and RLAB color appearance models use the Hunt–Pointer–Estevez transformation matrix (M HPE ) for conversion from CIE XYZ to LMS. This is the transformation matrix which was originally used in conjunction with the von Kries transform method, and is therefore also called von Kries transformation matrix (M vonKries ).

Colors generated on a given monitor will be limited by the reproduction medium, such as the phosphor (in a CRT monitor ) or filters and backlight ( LCD monitor). Another way of creating colors on a monitor is with an HSL or HSV color model, based on hue , saturation , brightness (value/lightness). With such

Fearnley-Sander (1979) describes Grassmann's foundation of linear algebra as follows: The definition of a linear space (vector space)... became widely known around 1920, when Hermann Weyl and others published formal definitions. In fact, such a definition had been given thirty years previously by Peano , who was thoroughly acquainted with Grassmann's mathematical work. Grassmann did not put down

It is similar to the YUV scheme used in most video capture systems and in PAL ( Australia , Europe , except France , which uses SECAM ) television, except that the YIQ color space is rotated 33° with respect to the YUV color space and the color axes are swapped. The YDbDr scheme used by SECAM television is rotated in another way. YPbPr is a scaled version of YUV. It is most commonly seen in its digital form, YCbCr , used widely in video and image compression schemes such as MPEG and JPEG . xvYCC

2806-462: The colors are converted to the traditional Hunt–Pointer–Estévez LMS for final prediction of visual results. From a physiological point of view, the LMS color space describes a more fundamental level of human visual response, so it makes more sense to define the physiopsychological XYZ by LMS, rather than the other way around. A set of physiologically-based LMS functions were proposed by Stockman & Sharpe in 2000. The functions have been published in

2867-410: The conversion between them should maintain the same color. However, in general, converting between two non-absolute color spaces (for example, RGB to CMYK ) or between absolute and non-absolute color spaces (for example, RGB to L*a*b*) is almost a meaningless concept. A different method of defining absolute color spaces is familiar to many consumers as the swatch card, used to select paint, fabrics, and

2928-493: The diagonal von Kries transform method, however, operates on tristimulus values in the LMS color space. Since colors in most colorspaces can be transformed to the XYZ color space, only one additional transformation matrix is required for any color space to be adapted chromatically: to transform colors from the XYZ color space to the LMS color space. In addition, many color adaption methods, or color appearance models (CAMs) , run

3355-558: The popular range of only 256 distinct values per component ( 8-bit color ) is used. One part of the definition of an absolute color space is the viewing conditions. The same color, viewed under different natural or artificial lighting conditions, will look different. Those involved professionally with color matching may use viewing rooms, lit by standardized lighting. Occasionally, there are precise rules for converting between non-absolute color spaces. For example, HSL and HSV spaces are defined as mappings of RGB. Both are non-absolute, but

One starts with a white substrate (canvas, page, etc.), and uses ink to subtract color from white to create an image. CMYK stores ink values for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. There are many CMYK color spaces for different sets of inks, substrates, and press characteristics (which change

CIE 1931 XYZ color space was one of the first attempts to produce a color space based on measurements of human color perception (earlier efforts were by James Clerk Maxwell , König & Dieterici, and Abney at Imperial College ) and it is the basis for almost all other color spaces. The CIERGB color space is a linearly-related companion of CIE XYZ. Additional derivatives of CIE XYZ include

3599-483: The second definition. CIEXYZ , sRGB , and ICtCp are examples of absolute color spaces, as opposed to a generic RGB color space . A non-absolute color space can be made absolute by defining its relationship to absolute colorimetric quantities. For instance, if the red, green, and blue colors in a monitor are measured exactly, together with other properties of the monitor, then RGB values on that monitor can be considered as absolute. The CIE 1976 L*, a*, b* color space

For example, if the spectral distributions are constrained to be the result of mixing three monochromatic sources, (as was done in the measurement of the CIE 1931 and the Stiles and Burch color matching functions), then there will be a one-to-one relationship between the LMS and CIE 1931 XYZ coordinates of a particular color.
