You can use matrix multiplications through the CLI with Imagemagick, and it works pretty well. The only caveat is that intermediary number precision is low, so if you need multiple operations (like convert to one space, transform, convert back) you need to pre-compute the resulting matrix and apply that in one operation. It works well if you have only a definite number of transforms.

For example, the article "Computerized simulation of color appearance for dichromats" gives the matrix transforms to simulate "color-blindness". This gives this command:

`convert $input -color-matrix '0.11238 0.88759 0 0.11238 0.88762 0 0.004 -0.004 1' $input_dichrom.jpg`

With which one can quickly check if a map or graph would be readable by a color-blind person.
