What is the formula for calculating C(concentration) in CIEL*a*b*? I need this by 2:30 pm, and for some reason can't find it in my notes. HELP!

Wrong colour space dude.

Still... I can't recall....
Try google.

No, CIE Lab is the right one. L is for value, a is for red-green, b is for yellow-blue. Hue (h) is the angle. C is.... uuuuh google my ass i have no time for google! Mommy!

Negative.
CIE Lab: Lightness ( - is darker, + is lighter), a ( - is greener, + is redder), b ( - is bluer, + is yellower).
CIE LCH: Lightness ( from 0 to 255, higher the brighter), Chroma ( a radial measure of colour saturation), Hue ( a measure of colour hue moving through 360 °).
