There is no standard human observer, every human see the color differently.
There is no standard RGB, the color you see depends on your monitor
adjustment.
There is no standard CMYK, the color you see depend on the proof, the press,
or the paper.
Only lab space is independent, and was created as a standard to define color
without any influence, and any industry can use that space to reproduce
color. That space was created only to assign standard coordinates to a
color, and use those to reproduce a certain color.
L is for the lightness axis, A is for the red-green axis, B is for the
yellow_blue axis, and you will know your color is ok when you get the same
numbers once it is reproduced and you reed it with a colorimeter.
