At one time the author proposed a strictly equal-contrast color system, but in this system a rather complex mathematical apparatus based on tensor calculus is assumed. Therefore, this article proposes a simple technique for calculating color differences, using a fairly simple mathematical apparatus. The article presents the results of calculations of color differences between specific two colors. For what purpose, during the preparation of the article, a computer program was specially written that allows carrying out these calculations.</p>color systemsMac Adam ellipsescolor scalegeometry of Riemannstrictly equal-contrast color spaceцветовые системыэллипсы Мак Адамацветовая шкалагеометрия Риманастрого равноконтрастное цветовое пространство
