 Computes the [CMC l:c (1984)][cmc] ΔE\*<sub>CMC</sub> color difference between the colors _a_ and _b_.
 
 ΔE\*<sub>CMC</sub> is not considered a metric since it's not symmetrical, that is the distance from _a_ to _b_ is not always equal to the distance from _b_ to _a_. Therefore it cannot be reliably used with [`culori.nearest()`](#nearest).

+
+The HyAB formula combines the Euclidean and [city block](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry) distance and has been experimentally shown to work better for large color differences than CIEDE2000, while still holding up well for smaller color differences, making it a _"good candidate formula for image processing and computer vision applications"_.
