The visible gamut under D65 illumination mapped to spherical CIELCHuv 
coordinates.

You seem to be interpreting L as a polar coordinate, which is rather
unconventional -- and as a matter of fact doesn't make much sense, since
it causes all grey tones to collapse into the center.

The official CIE LCh colout space is cylindrical in nature, not
spherical (though the visible gamut under D65 might take on a somewhat
spherical shape).

Yes, I know. Adding a bit to the beginning of the radius creates a hole 
that keeps the gray values from collapsing.

Why use this non-canonical representation of CIE LCh/Luv in the first place?

Back when I was learning how to use paint programs, before I learned 
what a color solid was, I came up with a spherical representation of the 
HSL color model (see attachment). I always liked the shape, and it stuck 
with me.

Beware that the parameterization of that color solid differs
significantly from that of your CIE LCh animation: In this HSL solid, S
is quite clearly measured radially from the vertical axis. In your CIE
LCh animation, the corresponding parameter C seems to be measured
radially from the center.

Nope. It is from the center point too.

Just read up on HSL, and you are right: In your spherical HSL diagram,
the distance from the center of the spehere does indeed correspond to
the parameter called "Saturation" in the HSL model.

*BUT* that "Saturation" parameter differs significantly from what I'd
consider the physical definition of saturation, where only monochromatic
light would be defined as fully saturated, while white light (at any
brightness, i.e. any shade of grey if you will) would be considered
fully unsaturated, which is what the "Chroma" parameter in the CIE LCh
model corresponds to.


If you want to get anywhere close to your HSL sphere with the CIE LCh
model, you have to represent the "Chroma" parameter as distance from the
vertical axis, otherwise you'll get a torus-ish shape instead of a
sphere-ish one. I also /think/ you'd get closer to your ideal by
sticking to the fully canonical rendering, with the "Lightness"
parameter represented as distance from the bottom plane.

At any rate, publishing a non-canonical representation of the CIE LCh
model will certainly do more to confuse people about the colour model
than to educate them.

Is this image easier to understand? It is missing the "donut hole" in 
the middle, however. So all the grays collapse to a point, unfortunately.

Do these figures show what you are talking about?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hsl-hsv_saturation-lightness_slices.svg

It seems "chroma" needs to be converted to "saturation first". Not sure 
the best way to do this, as I haven't thought of it before.

I'm not concerned so much with the outer shape. The spherical 
parameterization is what's important to me. But "chroma" needs to be 
converted to "saturation" first, as in the above image.

I labeled all the images as "original research", and nothing links to 
them except a user page.

No, it's the HSL model's definition of "Saturation" in general that I
find counter-intuitive, not your visual representations of the HSL
colour solids.

Fair enough.
