Tristimulus values XYZ are translated in practice to x,y,Y coordinates. However, the x,y diagram is not perceptually uniform, as MacAdam demonstrated with his famous ellipses - an important motivation for CIELAB.

CIELAB is one of the most important systems in colorimetry. Discover the origins of the system, the role of the CIE, and the basis of the XYZ tristimulus values from which CIELAB is derived.
