HSV to RGB Converter
The HSV color converter remaps the RGB color model, making it more understandable to the human mind.
In the HSV color model
- H represents Hue, which is the space occupied by each color in the color hexagon. In the color hexagon, the red angle falls from 0 to 60 degrees, yellow falls from 60 to 120 degrees, green falls from 120 to 180 degrees, cyan falls from 180 to 240 degrees, blue falls from 240 to 300 degrees, and magenta falls from 300 to 360 degrees.
- S represents Saturation, which is the purity of the color, ranging from 0 to 100 percent.
- V represents Value (Brightness), which is the brightness of the color, ranging from 0 to 100 percent.
What is the RGB color model?
The RGB color model stands for Red, Green, and Blue. These are the primary colors of light. This color model is additive because the model light is used to display colors, meaning the more you add, the closer you get to white.
Red, green, and blue are the primary colors of this model. All other colors are formed by combining them in different proportions to create a wide range of colors. According to some studies, the intensity of each primary color can range from 0 to 255, meaning each color can have 256 shades — with three primary colors, giving a total of nearly 16,777,216 colors.
The RGB color model is used in various digital displays, such as television and video screens, computer monitors, digital cameras, and other light-based display devices.
HSV vs RGB
The RGB color converter has three dimensions: red, green, and blue. The problem with the RGB color model is that it is not designed to create colors from codes. For example, to create yellow, it is known that equal amounts of red and green need to be added. But what if the desired color is dark purple? The answer can be complicated because the human mind doesn’t think of color as a mixture of red, green, and blue. Therefore, finding the exact values of red, green, and blue to achieve the desired color is difficult. This is why artists developed another way of defining color called the HSV color model. It describes colors in a way that is more intuitive to the human mind.
