RGB(sRGB) to LABh(hunter-lab,hlab) Converter - Color Space Converter

RGB(sRGB) color space introduction

Also known as the RGB(sRGB) color space.There are 3 channels in total, red,commonly referred to as r,range from 0 to 255.green,commonly referred to as g,range from 0 to 255.blue,commonly referred to as b,range from 0 to 255.
Source: sRGB was jointly developed by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard in 1996. Its purpose is to serve as a standard RGB color space, ensuring consistent color display across different devices and platforms.
Primary name is sRGB, also called Standard RGB, full name is Standard Red Green Blue.
Usage: sRGB is the most commonly used color space in everyday computer monitors, TVs, cameras, printers, etc. It is also the default color space for images, videos, and web pages on the internet.
Additionally, it's worth noting that sRGB has a specific gamma value (around 2.2), which results in a non-linear relationship between low and high brightness levels. This non-linearity is beneficial for human visual perception as it provides more color details in darker areas.

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.
