RGB_8_bit and RGB_16_bit Tabs:

DeltaE_stats Tab:

---------------------------------------------------------Table 1 - BabelColor Avg.: These RGB values were derived from the
measured spectral data of 30 ColorChecker or Mini ColorChecker charts.

---------------------------------------------------------Table 4: BabelColor Avg. vs ColorChecker 2005. This table compares the values
derived from the average, compiled by BabelColor, to the data provided by
GretagMacbeth ("ColorChecker 2005").

The spectrums were first averaged. Converting the averaged spectrums to

XYZ was done using the procedure and the weights of ASTM E308. Please
note that the weights are different for each Illuminant; no chromatic
adaptation matrices were used.
Multiple parameters gamma functions were used, instead of a single value
function, when such a function is defined for a given space (Ex.: sRGB,
NTSC).
Thanks to all who provided spectrums for this project!
You can contribute by sending spectral data of your ColorChecker or Mini
ColorChecher chart at: ColorChecker@BabelColor.com .

---------------------------------------------------------Table 5: BabelColor Avg. vs ColorChecker 1976. This table compares the values
derived from the average, compiled by BabelColor, to the data of the 1976 McCamy
article (used by GretagMacbeth until 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------Table 6: Averaged spectrums vs Averaged L*a*b*. This table compares:
"Averaged spectrums": The spectrums were first averaged ("BabelColor Avg.") and
L*a*b* data was then obtained from the average spectrum.
to
"Averaged L*a*b*": L*a*b* data obtained from each spectrum, then averaged.
No significant difference is seen.

For more info and updated data, check the ColorChecker page at
www.BabelColor.com .
---------------------------------------------------------Table 2 - ColorChecker 2005: These RGB values were derived from the
L*a*b* D50 data provided by GretagMacbeth; this updated data was first
made available around October 2005.
Conversion to the Illuminants of the RGB spaces was done using Bradford
chromatic adaptation matrices. Multiple parameters gamma functions were
used, instead of a single value function, when such a function is defined for a
given space.
---------------------------------------------------------Table 3 - ColorChecker 1976: These RGB values were derived from the
xyY Illuminant C data of the following publication:
C.S. McCamy, H. Marcus, J.G. Davidson, A Color-Rendition Chart, J. Appl.
Phot. Eng., Vol. 2, No. 3, Summer 1976, pp. 95-99, Society of Photographic
Scientists and Engineers (now called The Society for Imaging Science and
Technology; web site: http://www.imaging.org ).
With the updated data provided by GretagMacbeth in 2005, this table can be
considered obsolete.
Note: For more info on how the numbers of Tables 2 and 3 were obtained,
please consult the following document:
RGB Coordinates of the Macbeth ColorChecker.pdf
available from the ColorChecker page of www.BabelColor.com .

---------------------------------------------------------Table 7: BabelColor Standard Deviation. This table shows the Standard E

Deviation compiled from the individual spectrums ("Averaged spectrums").

spectral_data and graphs Tabs:

---------------------------------------------------------BabelColor Avg,:
Average spectrums computed, at every 10 nm from 380 nm to 720 nm, from Standard
and Mini ColorChecker color rendition charts.
Measurement geometry: 45 deg./0 deg. for all data sets (24 of the 30 data sets were
measured with Eye-One Pro spectrocolorimeters from X-Rite)
---------------------------------------------------------Standard Deviation (Absolute %):
This table shows for each wavelength the standard deviation for the corresponding
value in the "BabelColor Avg." table. This is an absolute value, in percent.
Note: A spectral value of 0.750 with a standard deviation of 1.6% should be read as
75.0% plus or minus 1.6%.

Table 1 - BabelColor Avg.: These RGB values were derived from the
measured spectral data of ColorChecker or Mini ColorChecker charts.
The spectrums were first averaged. Converting the averaged spectrums to
XYZ was done using the procedure and the weights of ASTM E308. Please
note that the weights are different for each Illuminant; no chromatic
adaptation matrices were used.
Multiple parameters gamma functions were used, instead of a single value
function, when such a function is defined for a given space (Ex.: sRGB,
NTSC).
Thanks to all who provided spectrums for this project!
You can contribute by sending spectral data of your ColorChecker or Mini
ColorChecher chart at: ColorChecker@BabelColor.com .
For more info and updated data, check the ColorChecker page at

Table 2 - ColorChecker 2005: These RGB values were derived from the
L*a*b* D50 data provided by GretagMacbeth; this updated data was first
made available around October 2005.
Conversion to the Illuminants of the RGB spaces was done using Bradford
chromatic adaptation matrices. Multiple parameters gamma functions were
used, instead of a single value function, when such a function is defined for a
given space.
Note: For more info on how the numbers of this table were obtained, please
consult the following document:
RGB Coordinates of the Macbeth ColorChecker.pdf
available from the ColorChecker page of www.BabelColor.com .

Table 3 - ColorChecker 1976: These RGB values were derived from the
xyY Illuminant C data of the following publication:
C.S. McCamy, H. Marcus, J.G. Davidson, A Color-Rendition Chart, J. Appl.
Phot. Eng., Vol. 2, No. 3, Summer 1976, pp. 95-99, Society of Photographic
Scientists and Engineers (now called The Society for Imaging Science and
Technology; web site: http://www.imaging.org ).
Conversion to the illuminants of the RGB spaces was done using Bradford
chromatic adaptation matrices. Multiple parameters gamma functions were
used, instead of a single value function, when such a function is defined for a
given space.
With the updated data provided by GretagMacbeth in 2005, this table can be
considered obsolete.
Note: For more info on how the numbers of this table were obtained, please

Color Differences:
---------------------------------------------------------Table 4: BabelColor Avg. vs ColorChecker 2005. This table compares the values
derived from the average, compiled by BabelColor, to the data provided by
GretagMacbeth ("ColorChecker 2005").
---------------------------------------------------------Table 5: BabelColor Avg. vs ColorChecker 1976. This table compares the values
derived from the average, compiled by BabelColor, to the data of the 1976 McCamy
article (used by GretagMacbeth until 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------Table 6: Averaged spectrums vs Averaged L*a*b*. This table compares:
"Averaged spectrums": The spectrums were first averaged ("BabelColor Avg.") and
L*a*b* data was then obtained from the average spectrum.
to
"Averaged L*a*b*": L*a*b* data obtained from each spectrum, then averaged.
No significant difference is seen.
---------------------------------------------------------Table 7: BabelColor Standard Deviation. This table shows the Standard E
Deviation compiled from the individual spectrums ("Averaged spectrums").

Notes on E values:
The color difference values shown in Tables 4 and 5 were determined using the
CIELAB 1976 formula (also named DeltaE*ab, or E*ab) as well as with the
CIEDE2000 formula. The ubiquitous CIELAB formula is often selected because it is
simple to compute; however, this formula does not properly quantify the perceived
color difference for certain colors, in particular in the blue region. The more recent, and
much more complex, CIEDE2000 color difference formula is nowadays considered the
most accurate formula.
For example, if we look at the orange, purplish blue, and purple patches of Table 4, we
obtain E values of 1.05, 1.76, and 2.47 with the CIELAB formula and 0.62, 0.44, and
1.07 for the CIEDE2000 formula. The CIEDE2000 values are more representative of
the "real" perceived difference and the accuracy of the averaged data.
The CIEDE2000 values for the other patches are also generally lower than the CIELAB
values. Please note that the E values of Table 7 would be similarly affected although
they are only given for the CIELAB formula.

Notes on Graphs:
You will notice relatively large "error" bars on many of the following graphs. These bars represent
the Standard Deviation of the spectrums accumulated so far. The Standard Deviation values are
tabulated in the "spectral_data" tab of this spreadsheet.
The size of the larger bars is not due only to measurement imprecision and chart to chart variations,
but mostly to the presence of two (and maybe more) sets or types of colorants for each color patch.
Many of the spectrums can be separated in two groups of similar spectral shape, each group
showing a smaller Standard Deviation. The different spectral types are not associated to a particular
chart type (Standard or Mini ColorChecker), and can be found in both recent and older charts.

Spectru

In most cases, the average color coordinates from each group are very close, one reason
being that the spectral variation is often larger in the deep red, where the eye is less sensitive.

1.000

Since:
a- it is impossible for many chart owners, without a spectrum, to determine to which type
a given patch belongs;
b- the color differences between each group is not significant;
c- there may be a different mix of colorant types for various patches in a given chart edition;
it was decided to average all spectrums, irrelevant of their types.
