CIE XYZ
The CIE XYZ will display standard color values.
CIE L*C*h* ab
The CIE L*C*h* ab display is closely related to the CIE L*a*b* display (see p. 51).
Instead of Cartesian coordinates, polar coordinates are used. The value C* stands for
Chroma and the angular value h* for hue.
L*C*h*-values are very popular, because they
describe colors in a simple way. The further
the color is located from the center of the
color circle, the more saturated and vivid it
appears.
XYZ standard color values are (beside L*a*b*-
values) a dierent way of describing the color
values. They are not as practical to use and
therefore not as widely used in the printing
industry.
