Thanks for explaining!

As I am trying to make sense of it, I notice that the XYZ numbers you
cited are off by two digits. According to ICC.1:2022, chapter 6.3.4.3,
they should be:

 > XYZ values for the PCS perceptual black point (X = 0,003357, Y =
0,003479, Z = 0,002869)


I further noticed that lcms2.h uses slightly different values:

// V4 perceptual black
#define cmsPERCEPTUAL_BLACK_X  0.00336
#define cmsPERCEPTUAL_BLACK_Y  0.0034731
#define cmsPERCEPTUAL_BLACK_Z  0.00287

I also noticed that src/cmscam02.c contains the floating-point literal
3.141592654 three times, all of which could probably be replaced by M_PI
for clarity, simplicity and accuracy.
