HWB to Linear REC.2020 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.

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.
