  • Explores mapping image pixels to a palette using different color spaces.
  • Compares Euclidean distance in sRGB, CAM16-UCS, Oklab, and CIELAB with luminance weighting.
  • CAM16-UCS results were not better than Oklab or weighted CIELAB, but all outperformed sRGB.
  • Discusses the impact of viewing conditions on CAM16-UCS results.
  • Highlights the limitations of ignoring image spatial structure in color mapping.
  • Includes Python code examples for color space conversions and distance calculations.
  • Mentions the Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect affecting luminance-based mappings.
  • Provides a reference to a book on computer graphics and experiment result images.
