Sample text

In many experiments, subjects were shown color samples that they should order as equidistant as possible after the criteria of lightness, hue and saturation. 38 Because expensive and complicated measuring devices are required for determining LCH color values, this color space has up until now been mainly applied in research and industrial quality control. But because it serves as a basis for the color description of different input and output devices such as monitors, printers and scanners, it is now finding a place in the graphics industry.

The measurement results form the characterization data for the printing process. 64 Characterization data are simple text files, in which each CMYK value of the test chart is assigned to the Lab value in the color measurement. Profiles for offset print or an inkjet printer are calculated by profiling software from the characterization data.

All colors have the same position as in the LCH color space. Instead of defining the hue by degrees and the saturation by the distance from the gray axis, the Lab color space spreads a right-angled system of co-ordinates across hue and saturation. The resulting order is considerably more impractical for comparing color shades, but is much easier for noting measured values. Hence, in color-measurement technology, the depiction of a color in space with Lab co-ordinates is more common than with LCH co-ordinates.
