Lab color

Lab color is a color system designed to represent colors as humans perceive them, ensuring consistent communication across different devices and media. It uses three components: L* for lightness (from black to white), a* for green to red, and b* for blue to yellow. Unlike RGB or CMYK, which are device-dependent, Lab colors are device-independent, providing a universal way to describe and match colors accurately. This system is especially useful in industries like printing and manufacturing for precise color matching and quality control.
