cie: CIE colour spaces

Description

Calculates coordinates and colorimetric variables that represent reflectance spectra in either the CIEXYZ (1931) or CIELAB (1971) colourspaces.

Usage

cie(vismodeldata, space = c("XYZ", "LAB"))

Arguments

vismodeldata

(required) quantum catch color data. Can be either the result from vismodel or independently calculated data (in the form of a data frame with three columns representing trichromatic viewer).

space

(required) Choice between XYZ (1931) or LAB (1971) colour models.

Value

Object of class colspace containing:

• X, Y, Z: Tristimulus values.
• x, y, z: Cartesian coordinates, when using space = XYZ.
• L, a, b: Lightness, L, and colour-opponent a (redness-greenness) and b (yellowness-blueness) values, in a Cartesian coordinate space. Returned when using space = LAB.
