Class ColorSpace
- Direct Known Subclasses:
ColorSpace.Rgb
A ColorSpace
is used to identify a specific organization of colors.
Each color space is characterized by a color model
that defines
how a color value is represented (for instance the RGB
color
model defines a color value as a triplet of numbers).
Each component of a color must fall within a valid range, specific to each
color space, defined by getMinValue(int)
and getMaxValue(int)
This range is commonly \([0..1]\). While it is recommended to use values in the
valid range, a color space always clamps input and output values when performing
operations such as converting to a different color space.
Using color spaces
This implementation provides a pre-defined set of common color spaces
described in the ColorSpace.Named
enum. To obtain an instance of one of the
pre-defined color spaces, simply invoke get(Named)
:
ColorSpace sRgb = ColorSpace.get(ColorSpace.Named.SRGB);
The get(Named)
method always returns the same instance for a given
name. Color spaces with an RGB
color model can be safely
cast to ColorSpace.Rgb
. Doing so gives you access to more APIs to query various
properties of RGB color models: color gamut primaries, transfer functions,
conversions to and from linear space, etc. Please refer to ColorSpace.Rgb
for
more information.
The documentation of ColorSpace.Named
provides a detailed description of the
various characteristics of each available color space.
Color space conversions
To allow conversion between color spaces, this implementation uses the CIE
XYZ profile connection space (PCS). Color values can be converted to and from
this PCS using toXyz(float[])
and fromXyz(float[])
.
For color space with a non-RGB color model, the white point of the PCS
must be the CIE standard illuminant D50. RGB color spaces use their
native white point (D65 for sRGB
for instance and must
undergo chromatic adaptation
as necessary.
Since the white point of the PCS is not defined for RGB color space, it is
highly recommended to use the variants of the connect(ColorSpace, ColorSpace)
method to perform conversions between color spaces. A color space can be
manually adapted to a specific white point using adapt(ColorSpace, float[])
.
Please refer to the documentation of RGB color spaces
for more
information. Several common CIE standard illuminants are provided in this
class as reference (see ILLUMINANT_D65
or ILLUMINANT_D50
for instance).
Here is an example of how to convert from a color space to another:
// Convert from DCI-P3 to Rec.2020
ColorSpace.Connector connector = ColorSpace.connect(
ColorSpace.get(ColorSpace.Named.DCI_P3),
ColorSpace.get(ColorSpace.Named.BT2020));
float[] bt2020 = connector.transform(p3r, p3g, p3b);
You can easily convert to sRGB
by omitting the second
parameter:
// Convert from DCI-P3 to sRGB
ColorSpace.Connector connector = ColorSpace.connect(ColorSpace.get(ColorSpace.Named.DCI_P3));
float[] sRGB = connector.transform(p3r, p3g, p3b);
Conversions also work between color spaces with different color models:
// Convert from CIE L*a*b* (color model Lab) to Rec.709 (color model RGB) ColorSpace.Connector connector = ColorSpace.connect( ColorSpace.get(ColorSpace.Named.CIE_LAB), ColorSpace.get(ColorSpace.Named.BT709));
Color spaces and multi-threading
Color spaces and other related classes (ColorSpace.Connector
for instance)
are immutable and stateless. They can be safely used from multiple concurrent
threads.
Public static methods provided by this class, such as get(Named)
and connect(ColorSpace, ColorSpace)
, are also guaranteed to be
thread-safe.

getName
Returns the name of this color space. The name is never null and contains always at least 1 character.
Color space names are recommended to be unique but are not guaranteed to be. There is no defined format but the name usually falls in one of the following categories:
- Generic names used to identify color spaces in non-RGB
color models. For instance:
Generic L*a*b*
. - Names tied to a particular specification. For instance:
sRGB IEC61966-2.1
orSMPTE ST 2065-1:2012 ACES
. - Ad-hoc names, often generated procedurally or by the user during a calibration workflow. These names often contain the make and model of the display.
Because the format of color space names is not defined, it is not recommended to programmatically identify a color space by its name alone. Names can be used as a first approximation.
It is however perfectly acceptable to display color space names to users in a UI, or in debuggers and logs. When displaying a color space name to the user, it is recommended to add extra information to avoid ambiguities: color model, a representation of the color space's gamut, white point, etc.
- Returns:
- A non-null String of length >= 1
- Generic names used to identify color spaces in non-RGB
color models. For instance:
-
