Should CIE 1976 and CAM16-UCS methods give equal results? #765

Hi @senyai,

I know it is confusing but both methods are indeed using Euclidean distance under the hood, however, the inputs should be different: You cannot use a Lab colour with CAM16-UCS but a J'a'b' array from the CAM16 CAM:

    Returns the difference :math:`\\Delta E_{ab}` between two given
    *CIE L\\*a\\*b\\** or :math:`J'a'b'` colourspace arrays using given method.

At some point, I will roll the power values of Huang et al. (2015) as described in #370 and the result will be different even with the same input.
