HSV(HSB) to HCG(HSG) Converter - Color Space Converter

HSV(HSB) color space introduction

Also known as the HSV(HSB) color space.There are 3 channels in total, hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.value,range from 0 to 100.
Origin: The HSV color space was invented in the 1970s with the goal of combining an intuitive understanding of color with the needs of digital color processing.
Main Names: HSV or HSB (where B stands for Brightness), which includes three color channels H (Hue), S (Saturation), and V (Value/Brightness).
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hsv(120, 100%, 100%) represents a pure green color with maximum saturation and brightness.
Usage: Used in color detection and segmentation in image analysis and processing, color selection and adjustment in graphic design software, and in color pickers in user interface design.
Additionally, HSV can be algorithmically converted to and from RGB. The HSV model is highly intuitive for color adjustments, allowing users to independently alter the perceptual attributes of color. HSV is similar to HSL, but HSV's Value (V) takes into account the effects of hue and saturation, while HSL's Lightness (L) represents the midpoint between pure black and pure white.

HCG(HSG) color space introduction

Also known as the HCG(HSG) color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.chroma,range from 0 to 100.gray,range from 0 to 100.
The HCG color space incorporates elements from the HSL/HSV color models and provides a direct path to grayscale, addressing the issue of maintaining hue and saturation as colors fade to white or black.
Known as the HCG color space.
Colors are represented by hue (H), chroma (C), and gray (G), allowing for a transition to gray scale as the chroma decreases and the gray increases, enabling the color to fade without losing its hue.
The HCG color space is often used in applications such as data visualization where colors may need to be muted or made pastel while still retaining their color identity.
HCG combines the hue and saturation control of HSL/HSV with the concept of gray scale to provide a more flexible way of color fading.
