NCM

A .Net color conversion/managment library

Status

• Standard color conversion
• Reading ICC profiles
• Writing ICC profiles
• XML comments documentation (not for ICC yet)
• ICC color conversion (partially implemented)
• Documentation (code and usage)

Basic Usage

var col1 = new ColorRGB(0.35, 0.17, 0.63, ColorspaceRGB.AdobeRGB);
var col2 = new ColorXYZ(Whitepoint.D50);

using (ColorConverter conv = new ColorConverter(col1, col2))
{
    conv.Convert();
        
    Console.WriteLine(col2.X);
    Console.WriteLine(col2.Y);
    Console.WriteLine(col2.Z);
}

If you want to change the input color, it's best to use it like this:

var col1 = new ColorRGB(0.35, 0.17, 0.63, ColorspaceRGB.AdobeRGB);
var col2 = new ColorXYZ(Whitepoint.D50);

using (ColorConverter conv = new ColorConverter(col1, col2))
{
    conv.Convert();
    Console.WriteLine("First conversion:");
    Console.WriteLine(col2.X);
    Console.WriteLine(col2.Y);
    Console.WriteLine(col2.Z);

    Console.WriteLine("Changing values...");
    col1[0] = 0.53;
    col1[1] = 0.72;
    col1[2] = 0.24;
    conv.Convert();
        
    Console.WriteLine("Second conversion:");
    Console.WriteLine(col2.X);
    Console.WriteLine(col2.Y);
    Console.WriteLine(col2.Z);
}

In general, keep in mind that creating a ColorConverter is expensive while the Convert method is cheap.

Using the Source Code

You need a C# coding environment with C#6 support. e.g. Visual Studio 2015 (any version is fine). The building process is like any other C# project and has no external dependencies.
