An important application of this coordinate system is its use in finding from any series of colors the one most resembling a neighboring color of the same brilliance, for example, the finding of the nearest color temperature for a neighboring non-Planckian stimulus. The method is to draw the shortest line from the point representing the non-Planckian stimulus to the Planckian locus.

The use of the following chromaticity diagram is provisionally recommended whenever a diagram yielding color spacing perceptually more nearly uniform than the (xy) diagram is desired. The chromaticity diagram is produced by plotting 4X/(X + 15Y + 3Z) as abscissa and 6Y/(X + 15Y + 3Z) as ordinate, in which X, Y, and Z are the tristimulus values corresponding to the 1931 CIE Standard Observer and Coordinate System.
