RGB to LAB Converter
Convert RGB colors to LAB color space. LAB is perceptually uniform, making it ideal for color-critical applications.
About LAB Color Space
What is LAB Color?
LAB color space is a device-independent model that describes all perceivable colors. It consists of:
- L* (Lightness): 0 (black) to 100 (white)
- a*: -128 (green) to +127 (red)
- b*: -128 (blue) to +127 (yellow)
Why Use LAB?
- Device-independent color representation
- Perceptually uniform color space
- Ideal for color matching systems
- Perfect for measuring color differences
- Used in professional color management
Common Applications
- Professional photography and image editing
- Print and packaging design
- Color quality control in manufacturing
- Digital art and design
- Scientific color analysis
Understanding LAB Values
L* (Lightness): Represents the perceived brightness, from darkest black (0) to brightest white (100).
a* (Green-Red): Represents the position between green (-128) and red (+127).
b* (Blue-Yellow): Represents the position between blue (-128) and yellow (+127).
