LABh(hunter-lab,hlab) to XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

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.
