ANLAB colour space C016 / 2057
ANLAB colour space. This graphic represents a section through ANLAB colour space. This is the abbreviation for the Adams-Nickerson uniform colour space proposed by Elliot Quincy Adams and Dorothy Nickerson in the 1940s. Similar work on colour spaces was carried out by others, with a modification of the ANLAB colour space resulting in the 1976 CIELAB colour space from the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). The ANLAB colour space is an example of an L-a-b colour space, with dimension L for lightness, and dimensions a and b for colour dimensions. Graphic produced at the National Physical Laboratory, UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ANLAB colour space C016/2057, representing a section through this remarkable uniform colour space. Developed in the 1940s by Elliot Quincy Adams and Dorothy Nickerson, the ANLAB colour space was an influential advancement in color research during the 20th century. This graphic, produced at the prestigious National Physical Laboratory in the UK, illustrates the dimensions of lightness (L) and color (a and b) within this innovative color model. The ANLAB colour space served as a foundation for subsequent developments in color science, including its modification into the widely used CIELAB colour space by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976. As an L-a-b color space, it provided a standardized system for measuring and describing colors accurately across various industries. This historical image not only highlights significant advancements in engineering and technology but also emphasizes how scientific research has shaped our understanding of colors over time. With its international significance and impact on optical standards, this photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and technological progress. Displayed with precision and clarity, this graphic offers viewers a glimpse into decades of experimental work conducted by brilliant minds such as Adams and Nickerson. It is a visual representation of their dedication to advancing our knowledge of colors—an invaluable contribution that continues to influence fields ranging from art to industrial design today.
