The '''difference''' or '''distance''' between two colors is a [[metric (mathematics)|metric]] of interest in [[color science]]. It allows people to quantify a notion that would otherwise be described with adjectives, to the detriment of anyone whose work is color critical. Common definitions make use of the [[Euclidean distance]] in a [[device independent]] [[color space]].
This is a preview for the new '''MathML rendering mode''' (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.


==Delta E==
If you would like use the '''MathML''' rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup]]
The [[International Commission on Illumination]] (CIE) calls their distance metric Δ''E''<sup>*</sup><sub>''ab''</sub> (also called Δ''E*'', dE*, dE, or "Delta E") where [[delta (letter)|delta]] is a [[Greek letter]] often used to denote difference, and '''E''' stands for ''Empfindung''; German for "sensation". Use of this term can be traced back to the influential [[Hermann von Helmholtz]] and [[Ewald Hering]].<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=DrduOSrOFegC&pg=PA188&lpg=PA188&dq=(grundempfindung%7Cempfindung)+helmholtz+color&source=web&ots=g_T3sFQ7eG&sig=4HBhygBAc3zW-XfGVPlaykl72bA</ref><ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=OoESifAi9ZsC&pg=PA278&lpg=PA278&dq=empfindung+color&source=web&ots=-z6JbcN54V&sig=-Bww3AcNWpnDQp1Lu7yqGBFyUOw</ref>

Different studies have proposed different  Δ''E'' values that have a [[JND]] (just noticeable difference). Unempirically, a value of '1.0' is often mentioned, but in a recent study, Mahy et al. (1994) assessed a JND of 2.3  Δ''E''. However, perceptual non-uniformities in the underlying [[CIELAB]] color space prevent this and have led to the CIE's refining their definition over the years, leading to the superior (as recommended by the CIE) 1994 and 2000 formulas.<ref>Real World Color Management, Second Edition (Bruce Fraser)</ref> These non-uniformities are important because [[Color vision#Physiology of color perception|the human eye is more sensitive to certain colors than others]]. A good metric should take this into account in order for the notion of a "[[just noticeable difference]]" to have meaning. Otherwise, a certain Δ''E'' that may be insignificant between two colors that the eye is insensitive to may be conspicuous in another part of the spectrum.<ref>[http://www.aim-dtp.net/aim/evaluation/cie_de/index.htm Evaluation of the CIE Color Difference Formulas]{{dead link|date=April 2009}}</ref>
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:  
The values L, a, and b (like used in the equations below) are usually double precision values scaled between (-1,1). When a Lab image is saved, L is used as an unsigned 8bit integer, and a and b as signed 8bit integers, in order to keep the image normal in file size.


===CIE76===
'''MathML'''
The 1976 formula is the first color-difference formula that related a measured to a known Lab value. This formula has been succeeded by the 1994 and 2000 formulas because the Lab space turned out to be not as perceptually uniform as intended, especially in the saturated regions. This means that this formula rates these colors too highly as opposed to other colors.

===CMC l:c (1984)===
In 1984, the Colour Measurement Committee of the [[Society of Dyers and Colourists]] defined a difference measure, also based on the L*C*h color model. Named after the developing committee, their metric is called '''CMC l:c'''. The [[quasimetric]] has two parameters: lightness (l) and chroma (c), allowing the users to weight the difference based on the ratio of l:c that is deemed appropriate for the application. Commonly used values are 2:1<ref>Meaning that the lightness contributes ''half'' as much to the difference (or, identically, is allowed ''twice'' the tolerance) as the chroma</ref> for acceptability and 1:1 for the threshold of imperceptibility.
 
The distance of a color <math>(L^*_2,C^*_2,h_2)</math> to a reference <math>(L^*_1,C^*_1,h_1)</math> is:<ref>{{cite web|author=Bruce Justin Lindbloom |url=http://www.brucelindbloom.com/Eqn_DeltaE_CMC.html |title=Delta E (CMC) |publisher=Brucelindbloom.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-16}}</ref>
 
:<math>\Delta E^*_{CMC} = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{L^*_2-L^*_1}{l S_L} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{C^*_2-C^*_1}{c S_C} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\Delta H^*_{ab}}{S_H} \right)^2 }</math>
 
<math>S_L=\begin{cases} 0.511 & L^*_1 < 16 \\ \frac{0.040975 L^*_1}{1+0.01765 L^*_1} & L^*_1 \geq 16 \end{cases} \quad S_C=\frac{0.0638 C^*_1}{1+0.0131 C^*_1} + 0.638 \quad S_H=S_C (FT+1-F)</math>
 
<math>F = \sqrt{\frac{C^{*^4}_1}{C^{*^4}_1+1900}} \quad T=\begin{cases} 0.56 + |0.2 \cos (h_1+168^\circ)| & 164^\circ \leq h_1 \leq 345^\circ \\ 0.36 + |0.4 \cos (h_1+35^\circ) | & \mbox{otherwise} \end{cases}</math>
 
CMC l:c is designed to be used with [[CIE Standard Illuminant D65|D65]] and the [[CIE 1931 color space#CIE standard observer|CIE Supplementary Observer]].<ref>[http://www.hunterlab.com/appnotes/an10_96ar.pdf CMC<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
 
==Tolerance==
[[Image:CIExy1931 MacAdam.png|250px|right|thumb|A MacAdam diagram in the [[CIE 1931 color space]]]]
 
'''Tolerancing''' concerns the question "What is a set of colors that are imperceptibly/acceptably close to a given reference?" If the distance measure is perceptually uniform, then the answer is simply "the set of points whose distance to the reference is less than the just-noticeable-difference (JND) threshold." This requires a perceptually uniform metric in order for the threshold to be constant throughout the [[gamut]] (range of colors). Otherwise, the threshold will be a function of the reference color—useless as an objective, practical guide.
 
In the [[CIE 1931 color space]], for example, the tolerance contours are defined by the [[MacAdam ellipse]], which holds L* ([[lightness (color)|lightness]]) fixed. As can be observed on the diagram on the right, the [[ellipse]]s denoting the tolerance contours vary in size. It is partly due to this non-uniformity that lead to the creation of [[CIELUV]] and [[CIELAB]].
 
More generally, if the lightness is allowed to vary, then we find the tolerance set to be [[ellipsoid]]al. Increasing the weighting factor in the aforementioned distance expressions has the effect of increasing the size of the ellipsoid along the respective axis.<ref>http://www.xrite.com/documents/literature/en/L10-024_Color_Tolerance_en.pdf</ref>
