I am not sure. I wrote this scene in 2014 but I don't remember where I
got the functions from. It must have been from a discussion at the time
in these n.g's - I browsed around but I am unable to find a probable
source; mention is made several times of CIE, so I wonder if I did not
get it from there. Sorry.

Maybe from an "earlier" version of CIE? and/or Lightsys? That seems the
most logical to me.
In the mean time I reviewed my scene code and added the latest Bald
Eagle macros to the collection (see image and scene file attached). I
added all the macros to the scene file. This is what it represents:
(1a) my reference color in linear color space;
(1b) my reference color in standard color space;
(2.1a) Ive's: conversion rgb->srgb of (1a);
(2.1b) idem but with Clipka's saturation/brightness boost added;
(2.2a) Ive's: conversion back srgb->rgb;
(2.2b) idem from the boosted color;
(2.2c) idem but using (1b);
(3.1a) Cousin Ricky's: conversion rgb->srgb of (1a);
(3.1b) idem but with Clipka's saturation/brightness boost added;
(4.1a) Bald Eagle's: conversion rgb->srgb of (1a);
(4.1b) idem but with Clipka's saturation/brightness boost added;
(4.2a) Bald Eagle's: conversion back srgb->rgb;
(4.2b) idem from the boosted color;
(4.2c) idem but using (1b).
These are macros applied indiscriminately. It seems immediately obvious
that Bald Eagle's macros do not need the saturation/brightness boost,
except probably where 4.2c is concerned.
I leave it to the experts to judge if this little exercise (which I
enjoyed doing btw) is of any real use. ;-)

Thanks for making this all-inclusive demonstration scene, and for posting the
code. Now I need to 'digest' all of the various color-conversion methods and
pitfalls, as well as all of the message posts here.
I am still working on my own demo scene ;-) It will be a different way of
visualizing the color conversions-- to include rgb-vs-srgb colors in lights as
well.
