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 LCH color code?
The LCH color code stands for Lightness, Chroma, and Hue. It is a cylindrical representation of the CIELAB (LAB) color space, designed to be more intuitive for human understanding. 'Lightness' represents the brightness of the color, 'Chroma' indicates the intensity or saturation, and 'Hue' specifies the color itself (e.g., red, blue, green) as an angle on the color wheel. LCH is particularly valued in design and colorimetry for its perceptual uniformity, meaning that changes in numerical values correspond relatively well to visual changes perceived by the human eye.
