ABSTRACT

Also known as colorimetry, color science is concerned with the physical measurement and mathematical representation of the colors perceivable by the human visual system. Because698 of the trichromatic nature of the latter, colors can be encoded as a triplet of values whose semantics are defined by a relative color model such as RGB, HSV & HSL or CMY . Together704

707 710 with the specification of basis vectors, called color primaries, the triplet then uniquely de-

termines the coordinates of the color in an absolute color space such as sRGB, XYZ or Luv711 & Lab (even though the latter are arguably dependent on the specification of a white point).720
