xvYCC to HWB Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

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.
