Illustration of several approaches to the mythical LMS color space. The well-known CIE 1931 XYZ color matching functions (CMFs) are displayed in light gray as a reference.
The CMFs of the “classical” LMS color spaces, which were created for color appearance models, are displayed in thin lines with saturated colors: Hunt–Pointer–Estevez (solid lines), Bradford (dashed lines), CAT02 (dotted lines). These were calculated from the CIE 1931 XYZ CMFs and the respective conversion matrices in Fairchild.
The CMFs of the Stockman-Sharpe-Fach LMS color space, which aims at being a “physiologically relevant” LMS color space, are displayed in thick solid lines with pastel colors. These were calculated from the “2-deg XYZ CMFs transformed from the CIE (2006) 2-deg LMS cone fundamentals” in the CVRL database and the inverse LMS to XYZ conversion matrix in Wold, p. 17.
