LAB(cielab) to OKHSL 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.

OKHSL color space introduction

Also known as the OKHSL color space.There are 3 channels in total,H,range from 0 to 360.S,range from 0 to 1.L,range from 0 to 1.
OKHSL is a color space designed by Björn Ottosson, derived from the OKLab color space. It is an HSL-like (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) model that is more perceptually uniform than traditional HSL color spaces.
OKHSL color space.
In the OKHSL color space, colors are represented by Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Lightness (L), offering a more accurate representation of human color perception differences.
OKHSL is primarily used in applications requiring perceptual uniformity and intuitive color adjustments, such as image processing and user interface design.
Due to its perceptual uniformity, OKHSL is more intuitive and consistent for color adjustments, particularly suited for graphic design and user interface layouts.
