A color checker, used for ensuring color fidelity in the print and photographic industries. Averaged measured Lab values are available for each patch. The rectangles show the Lab values, converted to sRGB. The circles show the Lab values, passed through an ICC profile to convert them to FOGRA39 CMYK. The CMYK value are then converted to sRGB with the look-up table approach of PDFium.
The table below shows, for each patch, the DeltaE 2000 between the original Lab and the Lab value after round-tripping through CMYK. A DeltaE 2000 of 1 or more is just visible, while 5 or more is just a different color altogether.
