+# Batch Color DeltaE CIE76
+## CIE2000 support planned for future
+
+This is an implementation of the math on http://brucelindbloom.com for comparing
+      a large number of RGB pairs using the CIE76 standard. All credit for the math goes to
+      Bruce Lindbbloom and the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage which defines the
+      standards.
+
+This program is fairly straight forward to use, however it does not sanitize the csv
+      that you point it towards, so it is important to double check your files before use.
+      The csv format to use is three integer RGB values seperated with commas, and a return
+      character at the end of the line. This is the format output by google sheets when you
+      export to csv. Like so
+
+         162,101,45
+         197,136,109
+         221,221,217
+         185,115,8
+         187,145,20
+
+The first RGB group on line 1 of the csv of the sample data set will be compared to
+      the first RGB group on line 1 of the csv of the reference data set.

+      {0} - There is only one page
+      {} In the RGBtoLab() function, the variable names in the XYZ to Lab section match the
+      variable names used on http://brucelindbloom.com/index.html?Eqn_RGB_XYZ_Matrix.html
+      to make the code implementation more legible.
