A method for transformation of color values of an initial color space reproducible by a first technical device to color values of a target color space reproducible by a second technical device is provided. The method includes movement from one color space by conversion of color values to different color values in the basic color space and scaling by conversion to different color values in the basic color space. The method also includes conversion of color values of the initial color space to color values which are closest to the color value in the edge area of the target color space. The method also includes movement of color values located in an edge area of the target color space to the interior of the target color space by conversion as a function of the number of identical edge color values to color values on the same color variation plane.
