XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) color space introduction

Also known as the XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) color space.There are 3 channels in total, X,range from 0 to 95.045592705167.Y,range from 0 to 100.Z,range from 0 to 108.9057750759878.
Origin: The XYZ color space was defined in 1931 by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) based on the visual experiments conducted on a large number of observers.
Main Name: CIE 1931 XYZ color space, comprising the X, Y, Z color channels.
Usage: The XYZ color space is primarily used for color measurement, color science, and color conversions. It provides a neutral, device-independent reference for other color spaces, often serving as an intermediate color space for conversions.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the XYZ color space is frequently used as an intermediate step for converting from one device-dependent color space (like sRGB or Adobe RGB) to another. It is closely related to the Lab color space, where XYZ can be converted to Lab, offering a more uniform space for color comparisons and difference measurements.

UVW(cieuvw,cie1964) color space introduction

Also known as the UVW(cieuvw,cie1964) color space.There are 3 channels in total,U,range from -134 to 224.V,range from -140 to 122.W,range from 0 to 100.
Developed by the CIE in 1964 as an improvement over the CIE 1960 UCS for better perceptual uniformity across different hues and lightness levels.
It is known as the CIE 1964 (U^*, V^*, W^*) color space, and commonly abbreviated as CIE UVW.
The color in the CIE UVW space is represented by three coordinates: (U^*), (V^*), and (W^*). These are calculated from the XYZ coordinates with a series of transformations intended to achieve a more uniform color space, taking into account the luminance factor.
The CIE UVW color space is used in specialized applications that require a uniform measure of color differences, such as in colorimetry research and the development of color standards.
The CIE UVW color space is less commonly used in practical applications today, having been largely replaced by more advanced color spaces like CIELAB and CIELUV, which offer better perceptual uniformity.
