A04. Perceptual Color Spaces

Five connected studies move perceptual color spaces from direct observation and explanation through controlled experiment, application and critique. Five active studies connect evidence, experiment, application and critique.

Observe → Understand → Experiment → Apply → Critique and record

• CIELAB

  Begin Perceptual Color Spaces with cielab: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

• LCh

  Within Perceptual Color Spaces, build a working explanation of lch, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.

• Oklab

  In Perceptual Color Spaces, test oklab by changing one controlled variable and comparing the evidence.

• OkLCh

  Apply oklch within Perceptual Color Spaces to a practical color decision, preserving both the reasoning and its constraints.

• Rectangular versus Polar Coordinates

  In Perceptual Color Spaces, critique rectangular versus polar coordinates against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.
