13 Perceptually Uniform Space: MacAdam In color space CIE-XYZ, the perceived distance between colors is not equal everywhere In perceptually uniform color space, Euclidean distances reflect perceived differences between colors MacAdam ellipses (areas of unperceivable differences) become circles Source: [Wyszecki and Stiles 82] 25 CIE-LAB Source: [Wyszecki and Stiles 82] 26 13
