title: "connect"
description: "Connects two color spaces to allow conversion from the source color space to the destination
color space. If the source and destination color spaces do not have the same profile connection
space (CIE XYZ with the same white point), they are chromatically adapted to use the CIE standard
illuminant [D50][Illuminant.D50] as needed.

If the source and destination are the same, an optimized connector is returned to avoid
unnecessary computations and loss of precision."

): Connector
```


Connects two color spaces to allow conversion from the source color space to the destination
color space. If the source and destination color spaces do not have the same profile connection
space (CIE XYZ with the same white point), they are chromatically adapted to use the CIE standard
illuminant `D50` as needed.

If the source and destination are the same, an optimized connector is returned to avoid
unnecessary computations and loss of precision.

#### Parameters
