HWB to LUV(cieluv,cie1976) Converter - Color Space Converter

HWB color space introduction

Also known as the HWB color space.There are 3 channels in total, hue,range from 0 to 360.whiteness,range from 0 to 100.blackness,range from 0 to 100.
Origin: The HWB color space is based on the HSL and HSV models and was proposed by Alvy Ray Smith in 1996 with the aim of simplifying the color selection process.
Primary Names: HWB, representing Hue, Whiteness, and Blackness.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hwb(120, 30%, 20%) represents a green hue with a blend of 30% white and 20% black.
Usage Scope: Primarily used in computer graphics for color picking, especially in web design and other applications that require intuitive color selection.
Additionally, the HWB model was designed to simplify color picking in user interfaces, making the transition from pure color to white or black more intuitive.

LUV(cieluv,cie1976) color space introduction

Also known as the LUV(cieluv,cie1976) color space.There are 3 channels in total,lightness,range from 0 to 100.u,range from -134 to 224.v,range from -140 to 122.
Developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976 as a uniform color space that would more accurately reflect human visual perception.
Commonly known as CIELUV, the space is also referred to as L*u*v* or LUV.
Color in the CIELUV space is expressed with three coordinates: L* for lightness, u* for the green-red chromaticity component, and v* for the blue-yellow chromaticity component.
CIELUV is used in various industries where accurate color reproduction is needed, such as color printing, in the manufacturing of textiles and plastics, and in color television broadcasting.
The CIELUV color space is especially useful for applications that require taking into account the conditions under which colors are viewed, including the effects of different types of lighting on color appearance.
