This paper comments a recent progress in the development of color system. Since a color is a common language to communicate the real world image, a color system plays an important role to jointly exchange a correct color. The major activities of CIE have been devoted to find the better uniform color space. The wide spread of internet has promoted a standardization of CMS (Color Management System). A strong demand for high-precision color control in industry stimulated a development of reliable color difference formula referred to as CIEDE2000 and a request for color appearance reproduction under the different environments in digital image application brought an introduction of CAM (Color Appearance Model)referred to as CIECAM02. CIE Technical Committees are working actively on the standardization of Imaging Technology under Div.8. Now, the newest TC8-08 is going to step into Spatial Color Appearance model. An excellent perceptual color system will be hopefully developed based on human color vision mechanism.
