HSL to Linear REC.2020 Converter - Color Space Converter

HSL color space introduction

Also known as the HSL 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.
Origin: HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It provides an intuitive way to describe colors, aligning closely with how we typically discuss color properties such as hue, saturation, and lightness.
Primary Name: HSL, which includes three color channels: H (Hue), S (Saturation), and L (Lightness).
It's usually represented as a triplet, for instance: hsl(120, 100%, 50%) indicates a pure green color with 100% saturation and 50% lightness.
Usage: HSL is used in computer graphics, image editing, and style design, especially in scenarios where there's a need for intuitive color property adjustments. In CSS, HSL is also used as one of the methods to define colors.
Additionally, it's worth noting that HSL has clear conversion formulas with RGB. While RGB is a commonly used color model in modern display technology, adjusting colors directly in RGB may not be as intuitive as in the HSL space. HSL is similar to HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), but they differ slightly in how they describe color brightness or luminance.

Linear REC.2020 color space introduction

Also known as the Linear REC.2020 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.
Linear Rec. 2020, or Rec. 2020 Linear, is a variant of the Rec. 2020 color space, where the nonlinear transfer function (gamma curve) applied in standard Rec. 2020 is removed.
Linear Rec. 2020 or Rec. 2020 Linear.
In Linear Rec. 2020 color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels without gamma correction.
Linear Rec. 2020 is primarily used in image processing and color grading tasks that require linear calculations, such as image compositing and high dynamic range imaging.
Due to its provision of direct linear light values, Linear Rec. 2020 is particularly suited for advanced image editing tasks that require precise color control and extended dynamic range.
