HEX to XYZ
Color Converter

A HEX color code, often referred to simply as "hex" is a hexadecimal representation of a color in web design and digital graphics. It consists of a '#' symbol followed by a combination of six characters, which can be numbers (0-9) and letters (A-F). These characters represent the intensity of red, green, and blue (RGB) components in the color, allowing for a vast range of colors to be specified with precision. HEX color codes are widely used in HTML and CSS to define colors for websites, providing a standardized method for designers and developers to ensure consistent and accurate color reproduction across different platforms and browsers.

The XYZ color space, established by the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) in 1931, is the foundational model for all modern color management systems. It mathematically defines the relationship between the physical wavelengths of light and human color vision. In this model, 'Y' corresponds to luminance (brightness), while 'X' and 'Z' serve as virtual components to describe chromaticity. Because it encompasses all colors visible to the human eye, XYZ serves as the standard reference space for converting colors between different devices and color spaces.
