The proposed new color-difference formula of CIE TC 1 - 29, which is a
modified version of CIELAB, was tested with a recently published data
set of textile pass/fail judgments. Goodness of fit is improved, if t
he parameter of lightness is set near 2, and if additionally, a weight
function for lightness is defined that reduces the weight of a lightn
ess difference with lightness level in relation to chroma or hue scali
