The CIE Color Space is a color representation system developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1931. It provides a standardized way to describe colors based on human vision, using three coordinates: X, Y, and Z. This model allows for consistent color communication across different devices and applications. The CIE Color Space serves as a foundation for various other color models, such as RGB and CMYK. By defining colors in a way that aligns with human perception, it helps ensure that colors appear similar regardless of the medium, whether in print, digital displays, or lighting.
