The development of the CIE 2000 colour‐difference formula: CIEDE2000

Ming Ronnier Luo, Guihua Cui, B. Rigg · 28 Aug 2001

Abstract A colour‐difference equation based on CIELAB is developed. It includes not only lightness, chroma, and hue weighting functions, but also an interactive term between chroma and hue differences for improving the performance for blue colours and a scaling factor for CIELAB a * scale for improving the performance for gray colours. Four reliable colour…

The CIE 1976 Color‐Difference Formulae

Alan Robertson · 1 Mar 1977

The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) has recommended the use of two approximately uniform color spaces and associated color‐difference formulae chosen from among several of similar merit to promote uniformity of practice. In this paper, the various features of the two formulae are discussed and compared. It is shown that the two are approximately equal…
