HEX to Oklch 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 Oklch color space.There are 3 channels in total,Lightness,range from 0 to 1.Chroma,range from 0 to 0.4.Hue,range from 0 to 360.

The OKLCH color space is derived from the OKLab color space, providing a cylindrical representation similar to LCH, but based on the more perceptually uniform OKLab color model.

OKLCH color space.

In the OKLCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L), Chroma (C), and Hue angle (H).

OKLCH is commonly used for tasks requiring a perceptually linear color space, such as color grading and graphic design.

OKLCH color space is suitable for advanced color editing and design tasks due to its perceptual uniformity.
