About LAB
CIELAB is a perceptually-oriented color space where distances better match how humans see color differences. L* is lightness, a* runs green–red, b* runs blue–yellow.
About LCH
LCH is CIELAB expressed in polar form — Lightness, Chroma and Hue — which makes it far more intuitive to adjust saturation and hue while keeping perceived lightness stable.
