colour.temperature.xy_to_CCT_CIE_D

colour.temperature.xy_to_CCT_CIE_D(xy: ArrayLike, optimisation_kwargs: Optional[Dict] = None) FloatingOrNDArray[source]

Return the correlated colour temperature \(T_{cp}\) of a CIE Illuminant D Series from its CIE xy chromaticity coordinates.

Parameters
Returns

Correlated colour temperature \(T_{cp}\).

Return type

numpy.floating or numpy.ndarray

Warning

The CIE Illuminant D Series method does not give an analytical inverse transformation to compute the correlated colour temperature \(T_{cp}\) from given CIE xy chromaticity coordinates, the current implementation relies on optimization using scipy.optimize.minimize() definition and thus has reduced precision and poor performance.
