What is the XYZ color space?

CIE XYZ is a device-independent color space defined by the International Commission on Illumination. It is often used as an intermediate space for converting between other color models.

What white point is used?

This tool uses D65, the standard daylight illuminant, which is the reference for sRGB and most modern displays.

How does XYZ relate to LAB?

CIE LAB is derived from XYZ. The conversion to LAB applies a nonlinear transform to XYZ values relative to the white point, producing a perceptually uniform space.

What is the maximum value for X, Y, Z in sRGB?

For sRGB colors, X ranges roughly 0-95.05, Y ranges 0-100, and Z ranges 0-108.88, normalized to the D65 white point.

HEX to XYZ Color Converter

Paste a HEX code and get the X, Y, Z tristimulus values using the D65 white point.
