Technical Specification & Mathematical Principles

The input RGB is converted to CIE-XYZ (D65 illuminant) and then into CIE-Lab coordinates.

Distance against the Pantone PMS color dictionary is evaluated using the full CIEDE2000 formula: ΔE₀₀ = √[ (ΔL'/S_L)² + (ΔC'/S_C)² + (ΔH'/S_H)² + R_T * (ΔC'/S_C) * (ΔH'/S_H) ].

Frequently Asked Questions

CIEDE2000 (ΔE₀₀) is the international standard algorithm for human color discrimination. It calculates rotational weighting across lightness, chroma, and hue in CIE-Lab space to mimic human eye sensitivity.
