You seem to treating the input values as xyY when they should be XYZ
(case matters).
So, I would do something like this
D65 <- c(0.3127, 0.329, 0.3583)
X <- 100 * D65[1]
Y <- 100 * D65[2]
Z <- 100 * D65[3]
XYZ <- data.frame(X = X, Y = Y, Z = Z)
convertColor(XYZ, from = "XYZ", to = "sRGB")
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 1 1
Quoting Bryan Hanson <han...@depauw.edu>:
Ken, I followed your suggestion and perhaps I don't understand what
to expect from convertColor or maybe I'm not using it correctly.
Consider the following tests:
D65 <- c(0.3127, 0.329, 0.3583) # D65 chromaticity coordinates
X <- D65[1]*D65[3]/D65[2] # conversion per brucelindbloom.com
Y <- D65[3]
Z <- D65[3]*D65[3]/D65[2]
XYZ <- data.frame(X = X, Y = Y, Z = Z) # D65 in tristimulus values (?)
colnames(XYZ) <- c("X", "Y", "Z")
tst1 <- convertColor(XYZ, from = "XYZ", to = "sRGB")
tst2 <- convertColor(D65, from = "XYZ", to = "sRGB")
# none of these are 1,1,1, namely white (they are ~ 0.6, 0.6, 0.6)
So it looks like D65, a white standard, does not come back to
something near white in the sRGB space. What am I doing wrong here,
or what do I misunderstand? Please don't say everything!
Thanks, Bryan

grDevices::convertColor has arguments 'from' and 'to' which can

someone confirm
that 'XYZ' is the same as the CIE chromaticity coordinates
are also sometimes refered to
as 'xyY' in
the literature? Or are these the CIE tristimulus values?
It looks to me like the first case is
true, but I
would appreciate hearing from one of the people in
know. Thanks, Bryan
I.'d look at the code or put in some known data to test it,
but XYZ are tristimulus values and xyY are chromaticity
coordinated and the luminance which is the Y tristimulus
value for the CIE 1931 standard observer.
