YCgCo to DLCH(DIN99 LCH) Converter - Color Space Converter

YCgCo color space introduction

Also known as the YCgCo color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.Cg,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Co,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YCgCo color space was designed for digital video processing to provide a simple and reversible color transformation method, serving as an approximation of the YCbCr color space.
Primary Names: YCgCo color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Cg' stands for the green difference component, and 'Co' represents the red-blue difference component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YCgCo(0.5, -0.25, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chromatic differences.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in image coding and digital video processing, for example, it is applied in encoding standards such as JPEG XR and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
Additionally, due to the simple conversion process of YCgCo, it supports efficient hardware implementation and can be losslessly transformed back to the RGB format.

DLCH(DIN99 LCH) color space introduction

Also known as the DLCH(DIN99 LCH) color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 100.C,range from 0 to 51.484.H,range from 0 to 360.
DIN99 LCH is a color space based on the DIN99 colorimetric system. It's an LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue) representation, which is a derivative of the CIELAB color space. The DIN99 system was developed to improve the perceptual uniformity of the LAB color space, making color differences more consistent with human vision.
DIN99 LCH color space.
In the DIN99 LCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*99), Chroma (C*99), and Hue angle (h°99).
DIN99 LCH is commonly used in fields requiring precise color matching and analysis, such as the textile and plastics industries.
The DIN99 LCH color space is widely used in color science and industrial applications due to its perceptual uniformity in representing colors.
