Color Transforms

As seen in the Colorimetry page, it's important to understand the difference between Absolute (or device-independent) Color Space (.e.g. CIEXYZ, CIExyY, CIELAB) and device-dependent colors spaces (e.g. RGB, HSL, HSB, HSV).

For example, it makes sense to convert from a device-dependent RGB space to a HSL space since, even though they are both device-dependent, they are defined in the same "dependent space".

Also, it makes sense to convert from 2 device-independent spaces like CIEXYZ and CIELAB.

Most importantly, the conversions between device-dependent color spaces and device-independent color spaces must always be accompanied by a Color Profile that appropriately describes the dependence to the device.

Device-Dependent Color Space Conversions

Here, we will list the different conversions between device-dependent color spaces.

Device-Independent Color Space Conversions

Here, we will list the different conversions between device-independent color spaces.
