HEX to Linear Adobe® 98 RGB compatible Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the HEX color space.

Source: Hexadecimal color codes originated from early computer graphic design, where there was a need for a concise way to represent colors. Since each RGB channel can have 256 possible values (ranging from 0 to 255), they can be represented as a two-digit hexadecimal number.

Primary name: Hexadecimal color code

It is represented using 6 hexadecimal characters, typically prefixed with '#'. For instance, red can be represented as #FF0000; the first two characters represent the red channel, the middle two represent the green channel, and the last two represent the blue channel. Occasionally, there might be 8 characters where the first two represent transparency (alpha channel), but this is not standard.

Usage: Mainly used in web design and CSS style definitions, but also in other scenarios where a quick and concise representation of color is required.

Pros: Hexadecimal color codes offer a compact representation of colors, making it very suitable for web and coding environments. Cons: To the general public, hexadecimal codes might not be as intuitive as other methods. For instance, seeing #FFA07A might not immediately suggest the color light salmon to most people.

Also known as the Linear Adobe® 98 RGB compatible color space.There are 3 channels in total,Red,range from 0 to 1.Green,range from 0 to 1.Blue,range from 0 to 1.

Linear Adobe RGB is a variant of the Adobe RGB color space, where the gamma correction typically applied in the standard Adobe RGB space is removed.

Linear Adobe RGB, also known as Adobe RGB Linear.

In the Linear Adobe RGB color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels without gamma correction, thus providing direct linear light values.

Linear Adobe RGB is primarily used in color management and image processing applications where linear light values are more convenient for calculations.

Due to its direct representation of the physical properties of light, Linear Adobe RGB is particularly suitable for advanced image processing and color correction tasks, such as HDR image processing and 3D rendering.
