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).

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 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.

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-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.
