Coloroid (In French système chromatique Coloroïd) aesthetically equidistant color space, which was created in 1962 by the Hungarian colorimetrician A. Nemcsics for architectural design (1600 color samples) on the basis of CIEXYZ. Its structure is similar to that of the CIELCH interpretation: hue A (“árnyalat”, color circle sectors 10 to 76), brightness V (“világosság”, 0 = black, 100 = white) and chromatic share T (“tarkaság”, 0 = achromatic, 100 = maximum chromatic) – syntax A-T-V. Conversion to CIELAB is possible via XYZ.
