How It Works
HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) are two different color models used to represent colors.
HSV (also known as HSB - Hue, Saturation, Brightness) is a color model that represents colors based on:
- Hue: The base color, represented as a degree on the color wheel (0° to 360°)
- Saturation: The intensity or purity of the color (0% to 100%)
- Value: The brightness of the color (0% to 100%)
RGB is an additive color model where colors are created by combining different intensities of red, green, and blue light. Each component ranges from 0 to 255.
Converting from HSV to RGB involves several steps:
- Calculate the chroma (C) as the product of value and saturation
- Calculate an intermediate value (X) based on the hue
- Determine the RGB values based on which 60° segment of the color wheel the hue falls into
- Add a value (m) to each component to account for the value (brightness)
- Scale the results to the [0, 255] range
This conversion is particularly useful when you're working with color selection interfaces (which often use HSV) and need to apply those colors in web development (which uses RGB or HEX).
