LAB(cielab) to LCH 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.

LCH color space introduction

Also known as the LCH color space.There are 3 channels in total,Lightness,range from 0 to 100.Chroma,range from 0 to 150.Hue,range from 0 to 360.
The LCH color space is a cylindrical representation of the CIELAB color model.
LCH color space.
In the LCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*), Chroma or Purity (C*), and Hue angle (H°).
The LCH color space is commonly used in color design and analysis, particularly when intuitive handling of colors is needed.
The LCH color space facilitates intuitive color selection and adjustment by users based on hue, saturation, and lightness.
