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.

Oklch color space introduction

Also known as the Oklch color space.There are 3 channels in total,Lightness,range from 0 to 1.Chroma,range from 0 to 0.4.Hue,range from 0 to 360.
The OKLCH color space is derived from the OKLab color space, providing a cylindrical representation similar to LCH, but based on the more perceptually uniform OKLab color model.
OKLCH color space.
In the OKLCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L), Chroma (C), and Hue angle (H).
OKLCH is commonly used for tasks requiring a perceptually linear color space, such as color grading and graphic design.
OKLCH color space is suitable for advanced color editing and design tasks due to its perceptual uniformity.
