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.

HCG(HSG) color space introduction

Also known as the HCG(HSG) color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.chroma,range from 0 to 100.gray,range from 0 to 100.
The HCG color space incorporates elements from the HSL/HSV color models and provides a direct path to grayscale, addressing the issue of maintaining hue and saturation as colors fade to white or black.
Known as the HCG color space.
Colors are represented by hue (H), chroma (C), and gray (G), allowing for a transition to gray scale as the chroma decreases and the gray increases, enabling the color to fade without losing its hue.
The HCG color space is often used in applications such as data visualization where colors may need to be muted or made pastel while still retaining their color identity.
HCG combines the hue and saturation control of HSL/HSV with the concept of gray scale to provide a more flexible way of color fading.
