LAB(cielab) to XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) 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.

XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) color space introduction

Also known as the XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) color space.There are 3 channels in total,X,range from 0 to 95.045592705167.Y,range from 0 to 100.Z,range from 0 to 108.9057750759878.
Origin: The XYZ color space was defined in 1931 by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) based on the visual experiments conducted on a large number of observers.
Main Name: CIE 1931 XYZ color space, comprising the X, Y, Z color channels.
Usage: The XYZ color space is primarily used for color measurement, color science, and color conversions. It provides a neutral, device-independent reference for other color spaces, often serving as an intermediate color space for conversions.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the XYZ color space is frequently used as an intermediate step for converting from one device-dependent color space (like sRGB or Adobe RGB) to another. It is closely related to the Lab color space, where XYZ can be converted to Lab, offering a more uniform space for color comparisons and difference measurements.
