HEX to HSLuv(HuSL) Converter - Color Space Converter

HEX color space introduction

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.

HSLuv(HuSL) color space introduction

Also known as the HSLuv(HuSL) color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.lightness,range from 0 to 100.
HSLuv is a human-friendly alternative to the CIELUV color space, designed to provide a more perceptually uniform color mapping while retaining the convenience of the HSL representation.
Known as the HSLuv color space.
Colors are represented by three parameters: hue (H), saturation (S), and lightness (L), attempting to maintain perceptual uniformity of saturation across the hue circle.
HSLuv is commonly used in fields requiring intuitive color selection and perceptual uniformity, such as user interface design and artistic creation.
HSLuv adjusts the hue circle of HSL to achieve the goal of maintaining color perceptual uniformity across different levels of lightness.
