What is HSV color code?
HSV color code, which stands for Hue, Saturation, Value, is a color representation system widely used in digital design and computing. Unlike HEX, which focuses on the primary colors of red, green, and blue, HSV considers different aspects of color:
- Hue: Represents the type of color, ranging from 0 to 360 degrees around the color wheel.
- Saturation: Measures the intensity or purity of the color, with 0% being grayscale and 100% being fully saturated.
- Value: Specifies the brightness of the color, with 0% being black and 100% being the fully lit color.
HSV color codes offer an intuitive way to work with colors, making it easier for designers to adjust hue, saturation, and brightness to achieve their desired visual effects in various digital design applications, including web design and graphic design.
What is LAB color code?
The LAB color space (specifically CIELAB or CIE L*a*b*) is a color standard defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976. It represents colors with three dimensions: 'L' for lightness (ranging from 0 for black to 100 for white), 'a' for the green-red color component, and 'b' for the blue-yellow color component. Unlike RGB or CMYK, LAB is designed to be device-independent, meaning it defines colors based on human perception rather than how they are produced by a specific screen or printer. This makes it an crucial intermediate space for converting between different color profiles.
