YCgCo to Lab D65 Converter - Color Space Converter

YCgCo color space introduction

Also known as the YCgCo color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.Cg,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Co,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YCgCo color space was designed for digital video processing to provide a simple and reversible color transformation method, serving as an approximation of the YCbCr color space.
Primary Names: YCgCo color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Cg' stands for the green difference component, and 'Co' represents the red-blue difference component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YCgCo(0.5, -0.25, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chromatic differences.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in image coding and digital video processing, for example, it is applied in encoding standards such as JPEG XR and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
Additionally, due to the simple conversion process of YCgCo, it supports efficient hardware implementation and can be losslessly transformed back to the RGB format.

Lab D65 color space introduction

Also known as the Lab D65 color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -125 to 125.b,range from -125 to 125.
Lab-D65 is a specific instance of the CIELAB color space that uses the D65 illuminant as its reference white point.
Lab-D65 color space.
In the Lab-D65 color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*), a* (green-red chroma component), and b* (blue-yellow chroma component), with reference to the D65 illuminant.
Lab-D65 is commonly used in color-related applications that require a daylight reference, such as image processing, printing, and photography.
The Lab-D65 color space is widely used to ensure consistency and accuracy of colors across different devices and lighting conditions.
