LAB(cielab) to LCHab(cielch,LCH,HLC,LSH) 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.

LCHab(cielch,LCH,HLC,LSH) color space introduction

Also known as the LCHab(cielch,LCH,HLC,LSH) color space.There are 3 channels in total,lightness,range from 0 to 100.chroma,range from 0 to 100.hue,range from 0 to 360.
Derived from the CIELAB color space, it represents colors in a cylindrical coordinate system.
Commonly known as CIELCH or LCH, also referred to as LCH_ab.
Colors in the LCH color space are expressed using lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue angle (H°), providing a more intuitive way of specifying colors compared to the Cartesian coordinates used in CIELAB.
The LCH color space is extensively used in industries and applications where accurate color differentiation is crucial, such as graphic design, printing, and paint manufacturing.
The LCH color space can be more convenient for understanding color relationships and specifying colors in a more perceptual manner.
