A '''color appearance model''' ('''CAM''') is a mathematical model that seeks to describe the [[perception|perceptual]] aspects of human [[color vision]], i.e. viewing conditions under which the appearance of a color does not tally with the corresponding physical measurement of the stimulus source. (In contrast, a [[color model]] defines a [[coordinate space]] to describe colors, such as the [[RGB color model|RGB]] and [[CMYK color model|CMYK]] color models.)
 
A '''uniform color space''' ('''UCS''') is a color model that seeks to make the color-making attributes perceptually uniform, i.e. identical spatial distance between two colors equals identical amount of perceived color difference. A CAM under a fixed viewing condition results in a UCS; a UCS with a modeling of variable viewing conditions results in a CAM. A UCS without such modelling can still be used as a rudimentary CAM.
