xvYCC to HCY Converter - Color Space Converter

xvYCC color space introduction

Also known as the xvYCC color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 255.Cb,range from 0 to 255.Cr,range from 0 to 255.
xvYCC was developed by Sony and standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2005. It is an expansion over the standard YCbCr color space, designed to support a wider range of colors for high-definition video.
The main name is xvYCC, also known as IEC 61966-2-4 or extended-gamut YCC.
Similar to YCbCr, xvYCC is typically expressed as three component values (Y, Cb, Cr). However, xvYCC uses a signaling method that enables it to represent a broader range of colors. This includes values for Cb and Cr that, unlike YCbCr, can exceed the nominal range of video levels, going below 16 or above 235 in 8-bit terms.
xvYCC is used primarily in high-definition video formats and devices such as Blu-ray players, digital cameras, and HDTVs that support HDMI 1.3 or higher. It allows for more vivid and accurate color representation on capable devices.
xvYCC can display a wider range of color values than sRGB by allowing values that fall outside the typical RGB gamut. It achieves this by using the same color encoding method as YCbCr but permits values in the signaling that exceed the range of the BT.601 or BT.709 color spaces.

HCY color space introduction

Also known as the HCY color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.chroma,range from 0 to 100.luminance,range from 0 to 255.
The HCY color space represents colors in terms of hue, chroma (colorfulness relative to brightness), and luma (brightness or luminance), offering an alternative to color spaces like HSL and HSV.
Known as the HCY color space.
Colors are defined by hue (H), chroma (C), and luma (Y), with luma (Y) being a representation of brightness that corresponds more closely to human visual perception.
The HCY color space is often used in applications where the perception of color brightness is important, such as video and image processing, and user interface design.
Compared to HSL or HSV, HCY offers a representation of colors that aligns more with human perception of brightness, especially effective during color transformation and adjustment.
