      <abstract>
        <p>Human vision extracts the visible spectral component <bold>C</bold>*, called fundamental, from n-dimensional spectrum <bold>C</bold>. The projection from <bold>C</bold> to <bold>C</bold>* is described by the matrix <bold>R</bold> in FCS (Fundamental Color Space). FCS is spanned by a matrix <bold>F</bold> with
 a selected triplet in <bold>R</bold>. The matrix <bold>R</bold> is decomposed into &#x201C;achromatic&#x201D; <bold>R<sub>A</sub></bold> and &#x201C;chromatic&#x201D; <bold>R<sub>C</sub></bold> by choosing matrix <bold>F</bold>.This paper presents a Luma/Chroma opponent-color space that is created from spectral decomposition
 of fundamental based on matrix <bold>R</bold> theory. A new color space has orthogonal opponent-color axes with hue linearity because it's created through a linear naive transformation of fundamental in FCS.The key points lie in that the &#x201C;chromatic&#x201D; projector <bold>R<sub>C</sub></bold>
 is further decomposed into <bold>R<sub>R</sub></bold> and <bold>R<sub>B</sub></bold> opponent-color components and an orthogonal Luma/Chroma FCS is newly created by a set of (<bold>R<sub>A</sub></bold>, <bold>R<sub>R</sub></bold>, <bold>R<sub>B</sub></bold>), each composed of n&#xD7;n matrix. Now image colors are mapped
 onto Luma/Chroma FCS. First, a tristimulus value XYZ from sRGB camera input is transformed back to the fundamental <bold>C</bold>* by pseudo-inverse projection. Next, <bold>C</bold>* is decomposed into the spectral triplet (<bold>C<sub>A</sub></bold>*, <bold>C<sub>R</sub></bold>*, <bold>C<sub>B</sub></bold>*)
 through the (<bold>R<sub>A</sub></bold>, <bold>R<sub>R</sub></bold>, <bold>R<sub>B</sub></bold>). Finally, the achromatic fundamental <bold>C<sub>A</sub></bold>*(&#x3BB;), n-dimensional vector, is converted to the luminance value LA by integral over &#x3BB;. As well, the chromatic fundamentals, <bold>C<sub>R</sub></bold>*(&#x3BB;)
 and <bold>C<sub>B</sub></bold>*(&#x3BB;) are converted to the chrominance values <bold>C<sub>R</sub></bold> and <bold>C<sub>B</sub></bold>. The paper shows how the image colors are mapped onto (<bold>L<sub>A</sub></bold>, <bold>C<sub>R</sub></bold>, <bold>C<sub>B</sub></bold>) Luma/Chroma space and introduces its application
 to the image segmentation in comparison with conventional CIELAB and IPT color spaces.</p>
