YUV(EBU) to HSLuv(HuSL) Converter - Color Space Converter

YUV(EBU) color space introduction

Also known as the YUV(EBU) color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.U,range from -0.5 to 0.5.V,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YUV color space was designed for analog video signal transmission, separating luminance information (Y) from chrominance information (U and V) to improve the efficiency of color transmission and ensure compatibility with black and white television.
Primary Names: YUV color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, and 'U' and 'V' represent the chrominance components, describing the difference in color from a reference white.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YUV(0.5, -0.33, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chrominance.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in analog video transmission and compression. In modern applications, YUV is common in digital video encoding and broadcasting, video editing software, and image processing.
Additionally, the YUV format is very effective in color processing to reduce bandwidth requirements because it allows the resolution of chrominance components to be reduced during transmission rather than luminance components, taking advantage of the human eye's greater sensitivity to luminance over chrominance changes.

HSLuv(HuSL) color space introduction

Also known as the HSLuv(HuSL) color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.lightness,range from 0 to 100.
HSLuv is a human-friendly alternative to the CIELUV color space, designed to provide a more perceptually uniform color mapping while retaining the convenience of the HSL representation.
Known as the HSLuv color space.
Colors are represented by three parameters: hue (H), saturation (S), and lightness (L), attempting to maintain perceptual uniformity of saturation across the hue circle.
HSLuv is commonly used in fields requiring intuitive color selection and perceptual uniformity, such as user interface design and artistic creation.
HSLuv adjusts the hue circle of HSL to achieve the goal of maintaining color perceptual uniformity across different levels of lightness.
