Original abstract

We show the advantages and disadvantages of specific geometric algebras and propose practical implementations in colorimetry. The colour space CIEL∗a∗b∗ is endowed by an Euclidean metric; the neighbourhood of a point is therefore a sphere, and the choice of a conformal geometric algebra is thus obvious. For the colour space CMC(l:c), the neighbourhood is an ellipsoid and thus we choose the quadric geometric algebra to linearize the metric by means of the scalar product. We discuss the distance problems in colour spaces with these particular geometric algebras applied.
