HWB to Oklab 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.

Oklab color space introduction

Also known as the Oklab color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 1.a,range from -0.4 to 0.4.b,range from -0.4 to 0.4.
OKLab is a perceptually uniform color space developed by Björn Ottosson, designed as a simple and computationally efficient color space that closely aligns with human vision.
OKLab color space.
In the OKLab color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L), green-red chroma component (a), and blue-yellow chroma component (b).
OKLab is commonly used for tasks where color difference is important, such as color grading, graphic design, and image processing.
Due to its perceptual uniformity and simplicity in computation, OKLab is particularly useful in color editing and image analysis.
