Subject: Re: Color difference equations

One of the reasons for dE 2000 being contraindicated for large color differences are the mathematical discontinuities in its computation. The presentation by Sharma, We, Dalal and Celik at the 2004 Color Conference explains these discontinuities ( www.ece.rochester.edu/users/gsharma/presentations/talkciede2000cic04.pdf ).

I see the “best for small color differences” recommendation for dE2000 quite
a bit, and I suppose I have no reason to dispute that dE2000 operates better
for smaller variations than large, and I’ve always gone along with it.
Actually though, in practice, I haven’t found dE2000 to be profoundly
misleading for larger color differences either. And again, should I be
worried about whether that blatantly obvious color difference between two
samples is accurately calculated with a dE2000 of 10, when dE76 shows it as
31 (actually measurements)? I think I’m becoming increasingly cynical and
polarized on the issue. ;)
