L*a*b* color space

The L*a*b* color space is a way to represent colors based on how humans perceive them. It consists of three components: L* for lightness (from black to white), a* for the green-red spectrum, and b* for the blue-yellow spectrum. This model aims to reflect visual differences, making it useful for accurate color comparison and reproduction. Because it separates brightness from color information, it allows for precise adjustments and consistent color communication across various devices and industries. Essentially, L*a*b* provides a standardized framework that mimics human vision more closely than other color models.
