HEX to ACEScg 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 ACEScg color space.There are 3 channels in total,Red,range from 0 to 65504.Green,range from 0 to 65504.Blue,range from 0 to 65504.

ACEScg is part of the ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) workflow, specifically tailored for digital visual effects, computer graphics, and animation. Developed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, it provides a standardized color management framework for motion picture production, post-production, and archival industries.

ACEScg, stands for Academy Color Encoding System - Computer Graphics.

In the ACEScg color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, specifically designed for high dynamic range and wide color gamut image processing.

ACEScg is primarily used in computer graphics, visual effects, and animation for compositing and rendering, offering a wide gamut color space that is optimal for these applications.

ACEScg provides professionals in computer graphics and animation with a unified and consistent approach to handling color, particularly in maintaining color consistency and accuracy across complex multi-software workflows.
