    Understanding LAB and RGB Color Spaces

    LAB and RGB represent colors in fundamentally different ways. LAB is device-independent and designed to match human perception, while RGB is device-dependent and based on how displays create color through light emission.

    LAB Color Space Components

    • L (Lightness): 0 (black) to 100 (white)
    • A: -128 (green) to +127 (red)
    • B: -128 (blue) to +127 (yellow)

    Pro Tip: Not all LAB colors can be represented in RGB, as LAB covers a wider range of colors. When converting from LAB to RGB, some colors may be clipped to fit within the RGB gamut.

    When to Use LAB Colors

    • Color difference calculations
    • Image processing and analysis
    • Professional color management
    • Cross-device color matching
    • Color space transformation

    Advantages of LAB

    • Device-independent color representation
    • Perceptually uniform color space
    • Separates lightness from color information
    • Wider color gamut than RGB
    • Better for color manipulation
