LAB(cielab) to DIN99 Lab(DLAB) Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

DIN99 Lab(DLAB) color space introduction

Also known as the DIN99 Lab(DLAB) color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -40.09 to 45.501.b,range from -40.469 to 44.344.
DIN99 Lab, often referred to as DLab, is a color space derived from the CIE L*a*b* color space. It was developed based on the DIN99 colorimetric system, which is an adaptation of the L*a*b* model to improve perceptual uniformity.
DIN99 Lab color space.
In the DIN99 Lab color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*99), green-red chromatic component (a*99), and blue-yellow chromatic component (b*99).
DLab is primarily used in fields where more precise perceptual uniformity is required, such as color science and quality control.
The DLab color space is particularly useful in color evaluation and matching due to its perceptual uniformity in representing colors.
