Coloroid

In colourimetry, the Coloroid Colour System is a colour space developed between 1962 and 1980 by Prof. Antal Nemcsics at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Like the OSA-UCS and Munsell systems, it attempts to model perceptual colour uniformity. Colours in this space are specified by three components (p, w, s), whose sum must equal 1. A series of equations can then be used to transform this Coloroid components of a colour into its corresponding CIE XYZ coordinates. Since August 2000, the Coloroid has been registered as Hungarian Standard MSZ 7300.
