How to Convert RGB to LAB

RGB to LAB converts screen RGB values to CIE L*a*b*, a device-independent, approximately perceptually uniform color space. For example, rgb(255, 0, 0) becomes approximately lab(54.29 80.8 69.89). LAB is used in professional color science for Delta E (color difference) calculations, ICC profiles, and color matching between different devices. It's the foundation of professional print color management. Values here use the D50 white, as CSS lab() and ICC profiles do; tools set to D65 give about lab(53.24 80.09 67.2) for the same pure red, so check which white a LAB value was made with.
