colour.difference.delta_E_CIE1976

colour.difference.delta_E_CIE1976(Lab_1: ArrayLike, Lab_2: ArrayLike) → NDArrayFloat

Return the difference \(\Delta E_{76}\) between two given CIE L*a*b* colourspace arrays using CIE 1976 recommendation.

Parameters:

• Lab_1 (ArrayLike) – CIE L*a*b* colourspace array 1.

• Lab_2 (ArrayLike) – CIE L*a*b* colourspace array 2.

Returns:

Colour difference \(\Delta E_{76}\).

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
