Bruce Lindbloom and Color

Color Science is a complex topic that can be hard to find documentationfor without purchasing books. For those on a budget, Wikipedia and Google can turn up some useful information, but there are often glaring omissions, inaccuracies, or questions left un-answered.

Luckily, Bruce Lindbloom has compiled an excellent website (brucelindbloom.com) full of Color Science information, calculators, and examples. Of particular use are some of the following:

• CIE Color Calculator - Conversions between color spaces.
• Useful Color Equations - Conversions, Delta E, misc. other equations.
• Delta E (CIE 2000)

While a lot of the material is a bit hard to get into without a basic understanding of color, it’s definitely worthwhile to pick through if you’re in the Graphic Communication industry (or are just curious about the topic).

Color Error Threshold Calculator

In preparation for inclusion in a Clemson GC project, I’ve brought myColor Error Threshold Calculator over to the new site. This, like my site, will be made available under the GPL once I have a chance to clean it up a little bit. More on this later, but you’re welcome to check it out by following the link earlier in the post.
