Abstract
In the XYZ color space, the subset of the tri-stimuli corresponding to spike-type (monochromatic) impingement of energy is the chromaticity cone, CC. Using a family of concentric spheres, we describe a nonlinear transformation over the CC and construct a bijection from the CC onto the flat plane. In the process, we open up the CC and view it as a chart on the plane. Because the map is a bijection, the color perception information is preserved (invariant) through the transformation. We discuss stereographic projection of the chromaticity chart and some examples.
