Charles Poynton -
Color links

This is a VERY OLD collection of links to resources concerning colour technology, color image coding and accurate colour reproduction. Given time (!), I'll update it!

• Poynton's Color Technology Page, GammaFAQ, and ColorFAQ
• Poynton's Video engineering
• Poynton's Articles

See also Poynton's links to Image Processing, Vision.

Find out where CIE documents can be ordered.

• Adrian Ford and Alan Roberts wote a document, Colour Space Conversions. It documents methods that have been used to transform among colour spaces such as RGB, HSI, HSL, CMY, and video. Adrian Ford has left the University of Westminster, and that organization no longer hosts the document. I have obtained permission to post the document here, in its Acrobat PDF version (184198 bytes). The front matter of this document contains incorrect information concerning places where the document can be obtained. I am awaiting the source files for the document so as to correct this information, and I am awaiting the files containing other versions (e.g., HTM).
