CIE L*a*b*

CIE L*a*b* is a color space created to describe colors in a way that closely aligns with human vision. It consists of three components: 'L*' represents lightness, ranging from black to white; 'a*' measures color along the green-red axis; and 'b*' measures color along the blue-yellow axis. This system allows for precise color communication across different devices and industries, helping ensure consistency in color reproduction, whether in design, printing, or digital media. Its uniformity makes it easier to compare, match, and manipulate colors effectively.
