Device-Independent CIE Color Models 

Mathematica 10 introduces four new device-independent CIE color models: LABColor, LCHColor, LUVColor, and XYZColor. The function ColorConvert can be used to convert colors or images between one representation and another.

In[1]:=

X color = RGBColor[1, .4, .3]

Out[1]=

In[2]:=

X ColorConvert[color, LABColor]

Out[2]=

Use colors defined in any of the supported color models for plotting and visualization.

In[3]:=

X colors = {RGBColor[1., 0.43137254901960786`, 0.2901960784313726], RGBColor[ 0.7647058823529411, 0.39215686274509803`, 0.7725490196078432], RGBColor[ 0.09411764705882353, 0.6549019607843137, 0.7098039215686275]};

In[4]:=

X Plot[{Sin[x], Sin[2 x], Sin[3 x]}, {x, 0, 2 Pi}, Filling -> Axis, PlotStyle -> colors]

Out[4]=

Accurately convert between all supported color models using ColorConvert.

In[5]:=

X labcolors = ColorConvert[colors, LABColor]

Out[5]=

In[6]:=

X labcolors // InputForm

Out[6]//InputForm=

In[7]:=

X Plot[{Sin[x], Sin[2 x], Sin[3 x]}, {x, 0, 2 Pi}, Filling -> Axis, PlotStyle -> labcolors]
