WHY COLOR LAB?
LAB refers to the name of the CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space, generally known as CIE Lab, which is used to characterize surface colors at POSITIVE COATING.
Colors are characterized by three quantities
- the lightness L* is derived from the surface luminance, and adopts values of between 0 (black) to 100 (reference white)
- the parameter a* represents the value on an axis from green to red
- the parameter b* represents the value on an axis from blue to yellow
POSITIVE COATING’s customers can send the company their color references based on other color charts (Pantone, etc.), and POSITIVE COATING will be able to match the color they want to obtain.
