CubeHelix to HCY Converter - Color Space Converter

CubeHelix color space introduction

Also known as the CubeHelix color space.There are 3 channels in total, Hue,commonly referred to as h,range from 0 to 360.Saturation,commonly referred to as s,range from 0 to 4.614.Lightness,commonly referred to as l,range from 0 to 1.
The CubeHelix color space was designed by Dave Green to create gradients that are visually uniform in both color and greyscale.
Known as the CubeHelix color space.
A color gradient is created by defining a starting hue and number of rotations while controlling changes in brightness and saturation to ensure visual consistency when converted to greyscale.
CubeHelix is particularly suited for scientific visualization, especially when images need to be converted to greyscale for printing or viewing by individuals with color vision deficiencies.
The advantage of CubeHelix lies in its ability to produce gradients that are continuous and uniform in both color and brightness, avoiding the jumps in brightness or color distortions often encountered in other 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.
