lab_to_rgb — IMGMETRICS colorspace op

• Data kinds: lab → rgbimage

• Call: import imgmetrics; imgmetrics.lab_to_rgb(lab, white=(0.95047, 1.0, 1.08883)) (or opsimgmetrics.get("lab_to_rgb"))

Usage

CIE L\*a\*b\* → sRGB `[0, 1]. **Out-of-gamut colours are clipped**, so a round trip through rgb_to_lab` only matches inside the gamut (pinned by a test).
