HEX to XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) 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 XYZ(ciexyz,cie1931,XYZ D65) color space.There are 3 channels in total,X,range from 0 to 95.045592705167.Y,range from 0 to 100.Z,range from 0 to 108.9057750759878.

Origin: The XYZ color space was defined in 1931 by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) based on the visual experiments conducted on a large number of observers.

Main Name: CIE 1931 XYZ color space, comprising the X, Y, Z color channels.

Usage: The XYZ color space is primarily used for color measurement, color science, and color conversions. It provides a neutral, device-independent reference for other color spaces, often serving as an intermediate color space for conversions.

Additionally, it's worth noting that the XYZ color space is frequently used as an intermediate step for converting from one device-dependent color space (like sRGB or Adobe RGB) to another. It is closely related to the Lab color space, where XYZ can be converted to Lab, offering a more uniform space for color comparisons and difference measurements.
