1 Scope
This document specifies the method of calculating colour differences according to
the CIEDE2000 formula.
This document is applicable to input values of CIELAB L *, a *, b * coordinates calculated according to ISO/CIE 11664‑4. It can be used for the specification of the colour difference between two colour
stimuli perceived as belonging to reflecting or transmitting objects. This includes
displays if they are being used to simulate reflecting or transmitting objects and
if the tristimulus values representing the stimuli are appropriately normalized.
This document does not apply to colour stimuli perceived as belonging to areas that
appear to be emitting light as primary light sources or that appear to be specularly
reflecting such light.
