CMYK to HSV(HSB) Converter - Color Space Converter

CMYK color space introduction

Also known as the CMYK color space.There are 4 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.black,commonly referred to as k,range from 0 to 100.
Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.
Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.
Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.
Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

HSV(HSB) color space introduction

Also known as the HSV(HSB) color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.value,range from 0 to 100.
Origin: The HSV color space was invented in the 1970s with the goal of combining an intuitive understanding of color with the needs of digital color processing.
Main Names: HSV or HSB (where B stands for Brightness), which includes three color channels H (Hue), S (Saturation), and V (Value/Brightness).
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hsv(120, 100%, 100%) represents a pure green color with maximum saturation and brightness.
Usage: Used in color detection and segmentation in image analysis and processing, color selection and adjustment in graphic design software, and in color pickers in user interface design.
Additionally, HSV can be algorithmically converted to and from RGB. The HSV model is highly intuitive for color adjustments, allowing users to independently alter the perceptual attributes of color. HSV is similar to HSL, but HSV's Value (V) takes into account the effects of hue and saturation, while HSL's Lightness (L) represents the midpoint between pure black and pure white.
