To improve the spectral image color reproduction accuracy, two novel interim connection spaces (ICSs) were proposed. The dominant structure of spectral power distributions was extracted by principal component analysis for the widely used illuminants and light sources, and then further transformed to three synthetic illuminants. The CIEXYZ tristimulus under two or three synthetic illuminants was employed to construct two novel ICSs. The two ICSs were compared with LabPQR and the ICS with two sets of tristimulus under two real light sources according to the spectral and colorimetric representing accuracy of Munsell and Natural Color System (NCS) chips. The results indicated that the two ICSs proposed in this study outperformed the other two ICSs as a whole.
