Abstract

Color charts are used in many color imaging contexts to sample a color space or the effects of a color transformation. A rich variety of approaches exist here for determining the set of colors contained in a color chart and the specific choices of colors and their cardinality both then impact the goodness of the color imaging processes that use them. A key example here are the color charts used for building ICC color profiles. Such charts are often variations on uniform samplings in either an RGB or a CMYK device color space. At the same time, the accuracy of an ICC profile is judged in terms of color difference (ΔEs), and a chart that is uniformly distributed in those terms would be advantageous. This paper presents an approach to explicitly tuning color charts for uniformity in arbitrary color spaces and for arbitrary color difference metrics, using computational optimization over a hexagonally close packed mesh. Results show a substantial improvement in the uniformity of ΔE differences between each chart color and its neighbors.
