So, I did as you suggest, and google only found a handful of hits.
You're correct, I must have not noted my search term very well.
You said the literature is full of color
space used in a non-colorimetric sense, so provide an example, OK?
Do a literature search:
http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/ and try
colorimetric and color space. You can also check for citations to
Luther and Ives work and see how people use it. My real nitpick
with your posting is that Luther and Ives work defines
"colorimetric" and not "color space" (which does not seem to have a
definitive cite definition.)
Really, this is nitpicking over whether "color" is purely a
property of human vision (and hence the only "color spaces" are the
CIE standard models and anything colorimetric with them) or if it's
more general in that any visual system has "color." (Do bees have
a "color space" or do you call it a "bee vision space"?) If you,
like Joe, want to be strict and say that "color" is by definition
only human and use other terms for other spaces, fine. However,
it's useful to have a term that applies to all possible "visual
frequency spaces" even those that are not colorimetric (i.e.
perfect linear transformation to human color space.)
