We present HELMLAB, a 72-parameter analytical color space for UI design systems. The forward transform maps CIE XYZ to a perceptually-organized Lab representation through learned matrices, per-channel power compression, Fourier hue correction, and embedded Helmholtz-Kohlrausch lightness adjustment. A post-pipeline neutral correction guarantees that achromatic colors map to a=b=0 (chroma < 10^-6), and a rigid rotation of the chromatic plane improves hue-angle alignment without affecting the distance metric, which is invariant under isometries. On the COMBVD dataset (3,813 color pairs), HELMLAB achieves a STRESS of 23.22, a 20.4% reduction from CIEDE2000 (29.18). Cross-validation on He et al. 2022 and MacAdam 1974 shows competitive cross-dataset performance. The transform is invertible with round-trip errors below 10^-14. Gamut mapping, design-token export, and dark/light mode adaptation utilities are included for use in web and mobile design systems.
