The CIE tristimulus values system uses 3 parameters (X,Y,Z), based on<br />

the spectral response functions defined by the CIE observer. Sometimes is used<br />

a CIE chromaticity diagram to define color.<br />

The CIE color system (CIE L*a*b*) uses L* (lightness), a* (hue and<br />

chroma on a red-green scale), b* (hue and chroma on a yellow-blue scale)<br />

parameters for defining the color. The values for the three mentioned<br />

parameters can be calculated from the tristimulus X,Y and Z values (Fig. 4).<br />

In the color system CIE L*a*b*, the color difference ΔE* = [(ΔL*) 2<br />

+(Δa*) 2 +(Δb*) 2 ] 1/2
