Adobe® 98 RGB compatible

src/spaces/a98rgb.js

Another wide gamut RGB color space, encompassed roughly 50% of visible colors, and popular in digital photography. The name Adobe® (1998) RGB' is trademarked, but a colorspace which is 100% identical can be described as compatible` as long as it uses a different name.

CAM16-JMh

src/spaces/cam16-jmh.js

An improved and simplified development from the earlier CIECAM02 Color Appearance Model, CAM16 provides three perceptual attributes: lightness J, colorfulness M and hue quadrature h. The default viewing conditions are: D65 white point, adapting luminance of 64 lux (4 cd/m²), average surround and less than full chromatic adaptation. This does mean that what other color models consider to be achromatic colors may have a non-zero colorfulness (M).

HPLuv

src/spaces/hpluv.js

The HPLuv color space emphasizes perceptual uniformity specifically in its lightness component. HPLuv ensures that changes in lightness are consistently perceived by the human eye, regardless of the hue or saturation of the color. The resulting palette is a subset of sRGB and the colors are mainly pastel.

HSLuv

src/spaces/hsluv.js

The HSLuv color space is a perceptually uniform adaptation of the traditional HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color model. Engineered upon the foundations of the CIELUV color space, HSLuv ensures that colors that appear equally spaced in its representation also present consistent perceptual differences to the human observer. This results in a color space where changes in hue, saturation, or lightness produce predictable and coherent visual outcomes, addressing inconsistencies and unpredictable color shifts often found in standard HSL.

LCH

src/spaces/lch.js

LCH is the polar form of Lab. Instead of juggling a and b, you specify a Hue angle (starting from the positive a axis) and a Chroma, or colorfulness, which is zero for neutral greys and increases as a color becomes more intensely colorful.

Lab

src/spaces/lab.js

A CIE color space with fairly good perceptually uniformity. Lab has a central Lightness axis (black at 0, white at 100, mid-grey at 50) and two opponent color axes. The a axis has pinkish reds in the positive direction and the complementary bluish-greens in the negative direction. The b axis has yellows in the positive direction and the complementary blue-violets in the negative direction. The geometric distance between to points in Lab is a good first approximation to how different the two colors look. Commercial color-measuring instruments report values in Lab, and it is used as an intermediate space for gamut mapping and colorspace interconversion.

Designed to avoid hue shifts when sigmoid (contrast-changing) functions are applied directly to the RGB channels, so it is popular as an authoring space for digital photography. Includes 90% of visible colors, but also encodes many values that are not physically realizable colors. Requires gamut mapping before display.

REC.2100-HLG

src/spaces/rec2100hlg.js

One of the two HDR forms of Rec.2020; HLG stands for Hybrid Log-Gamma and is designed to maximise compatibility with SDR broadcast standards. REC.2100-HLG encodes relative scene luminance, so that it can be adapted to a wide range of viewing conditions and display peak luminances. Media white is encoded at a value of 0.75, values brighter than that are highlights.

REC.2100-PQ

src/spaces/rec2100pq.js

One of the two HDR forms of Rec.2020; PQ stands for Perceptual Quantizer and is designed to avoid banding when HDR material is encoded with only 10 or 12 bits per component. REC.2100-PQ encodes absolute display luminance, in the range 0 to 10,000 cd/m2. Intended to be viewed in a dim viewing environment. Media white is typically displayed at around 200 cd/m2 (varying with content), values brighter than that are highlights.

XYZ D50

src/spaces/xyz-d50.js

XYZ-D50 assumes the eye is adapted to the graphic arts D50 daylight white point, which is the case for ProPhoto RGB. Measured CIE Lab values are also typically reported with a D50 white point. Color.js will also internally create XYZ color spaces with different white points as needed (for example, converting to and from the ACES color spaces).

XYZ D65

src/spaces/xyz-d65.js

The fundamental CIE color space, derived from color-matching experiments on human vision. All other color spaces can be converted to XYZ. Encodes linear light intensity. XYZ-D65 assumes the eye is adapted to the D65 daylight white point, which is true for most color spaces.
