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.

Lab D65 color space introduction

Also known as the Lab D65 color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -125 to 125.b,range from -125 to 125.
Lab-D65 is a specific instance of the CIELAB color space that uses the D65 illuminant as its reference white point.
Lab-D65 color space.
In the Lab-D65 color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*), a* (green-red chroma component), and b* (blue-yellow chroma component), with reference to the D65 illuminant.
Lab-D65 is commonly used in color-related applications that require a daylight reference, such as image processing, printing, and photography.
The Lab-D65 color space is widely used to ensure consistency and accuracy of colors across different devices and lighting conditions.
