LABh(hunter-lab,hlab) color space introduction

Also known as the LABh(hunter-lab,hlab) color space.There are 3 channels in total, lightness,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -128 to 128.b,range from -128 to 128.
Developed by Richard S. Hunter in the 1940s as a color scale based on opponent-color theory. It is an adaptation of the CIE XYZ color space to be more perceptually linear.
Often referred to as Hunter Lab, or Lab Hunter.
Colors in the Hunter Lab color space are expressed through three coordinates: L (for lightness), a (red/green value), and b (blue/yellow value). These are calculated from CIE XYZ using Hunter's specific equations.
Hunter Lab is used in various industries for color matching, quality control, and other applications where a perceptually linear space is beneficial for color difference measurement.
Although similar to CIELAB, the Hunter Lab color space is used less frequently in contemporary applications. However, it remains significant in industries that adopted it early on and continue to rely on its specific color-rendering properties.

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.
