HEX to REC.2100-PQ 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 REC.2100-PQ 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.

Rec. 2100 PQ (Perceptual Quantizer) is one of the HDR standards developed under ITU-R BT.2100, designed to accurately represent a wide range of brightness levels from deep blacks to intense highlights, far exceeding what standard dynamic range (SDR) can offer.

Rec. 2100 PQ color space.

In the Rec. 2100 PQ color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, designed based on the human visual system to ensure that each increment in brightness is perceived uniformly.

Rec. 2100 PQ is primarily used in HDR video production and playback that require a wide range of brightness representation.

Rec. 2100 PQ is widely used in professional video production and high-end television playback due to its precision in representing HDR content and uniform perceptual brightness increments.
