CMY to LAB(cielab) Converter - Color Space Converter
CMY color space introduction
Also known as the CMY color space.There are 3 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.
Source: CMY is based on the subtractive properties of color related to printing. It takes into account the ink or dye absorbing certain wavelengths of light from white light, thereby displaying color.
Primary name: CMY, which includes the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color channels.
Usage: Although CMY is not as commonly used in professional printing as CMYK, it is useful in understanding the basics of color mixing and printing. CMY color mode can also be found in certain digital art and design software.
Additionally, it's important to note that, in contrast to the RGB color space, CMY and RGB are complementary. Theoretically, Cyan (C) is the complement of Red (R), Magenta (M) is the complement of Green (G), and Yellow (Y) is the complement of Blue (B). Thus, CMY and RGB can be converted through corresponding relationships.
LAB(cielab) color space introduction
Also known as the LAB(cielab) color space.There are 3 channels in total,lightness,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -100 to 100.b,range from -100 to 100.
Defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976, as an improvement and extension of the CIE XYZ color space, designed to be a closer approximation to human visual non-linearity.
Commonly known as CIELAB color space, abbreviated as L*a*b* or Lab.
Lab colors are typically represented by three coordinates: L* for lightness, a* for green to red chromaticity, and b* for blue to yellow chromaticity. They can be algorithmically converted to other color spaces for display or printing on different devices.
The Lab color space is extensively used in color measurement and management, particularly important in fields requiring precise color matching and assessment such as digital printing, photography, image analysis, and industrial color testing.
The advantage of the Lab color space lies in its device independence, allowing for consistent and accurate color conversion across different devices and software.
