(such as CIE st<strong>and</strong>ards C, D50, orD65) <strong>and</strong> Equati<strong>on</strong> 3.3. Then, XY Z values can<br />
be c<strong>on</strong>verted into a number of nearly uniform color spaces, such as Munsell, CIE<br />
L ∗ a ∗ b ∗ or CIE L ∗ u ∗ v ∗ .<br />
C<strong>on</strong>verting XY Z values into the Munsell color space is typically d<strong>on</strong>e via a<br />
three-dimensi<strong>on</strong>al look-up table, as there is no easy way to mathematically trans-<br />
form XY Z values into the Munsell space. Since the Munsell color space is defined<br />
by physical samples, the reflectances of the samples which define the space can<br />
be measured <strong>and</strong> c<strong>on</strong>verted into XY Z tristimulus values. From this data, <strong>on</strong>e<br />
searches the table (such as from [Lab05]) for the nearest XY Z values. The Mun-<br />
sell HV C (hue, value <strong>and</strong> chroma) coordinates are found by linearly interpolating<br />
between adjacent points. Recently, it is of note that there has been a promising<br />
attempt to model a general transformati<strong>on</strong> between reflectance spectra <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Munsell color system with good corresp<strong>on</strong>dence between the calculated <strong>and</strong> actual<br />
coordinates [LJP06].<br />
C<strong>on</strong>verting XY Z values into the other two spaces is much easier numerically.<br />
Tristimulus values XY Z are c<strong>on</strong>verted to L ∗ a ∗ b ∗ using Equati<strong>on</strong>s 3.9 & 3.11. By<br />
design, the distance between any two points in the L ∗ a ∗ b ∗ color system is nearly<br />
proporti<strong>on</strong>al to the percepti<strong>on</strong>al color difference. Thus, the Euclidean distance<br />
(given by Equati<strong>on</strong> 3.12) between any two color coordinates determines approxi-<br />
mately the perceptual difference between the two colors. The Munsell color system<br />
is also a perceptually uniform space, though it is more difficult to define perceptual<br />
differences via a discrete number. Due to the cylindrical natural of the Munsell<br />
system, <strong>on</strong>e has to take into account differences in arc length to compare different<br />
hues.<br />
