In this study the purpose was to develop a computational surface model, which gives an equal computed chromaticity difference for equal perceived chromaticity difference in every part of the color space. The computational surface model assess chromaticity differences based on the surfaces
defined by an ellipse data set and the two chromaticity points whose chromaticity difference is to be calculated. The distances along the surfaces are calculated by a method based on the Weighted Distance Transform On Curved Space (WDTOCS). The ellipse data sets are the MacAdam ellipses in
the CIE 1931 (
