HCG(HSG) color space introduction

Also known as the HCG(HSG) color space.There are 3 channels in total, hue,range from 0 to 360.chroma,range from 0 to 100.gray,range from 0 to 100.
The HCG color space incorporates elements from the HSL/HSV color models and provides a direct path to grayscale, addressing the issue of maintaining hue and saturation as colors fade to white or black.
Known as the HCG color space.
Colors are represented by hue (H), chroma (C), and gray (G), allowing for a transition to gray scale as the chroma decreases and the gray increases, enabling the color to fade without losing its hue.
The HCG color space is often used in applications such as data visualization where colors may need to be muted or made pastel while still retaining their color identity.
HCG combines the hue and saturation control of HSL/HSV with the concept of gray scale to provide a more flexible way of color fading.

UCS(cie1960) color space introduction

Also known as the UCS(cie1960) color space.There are 3 channels in total,U,range from 0 to 100.V,range from 0 to 100.W,range from 0 to 100.
Developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1960, it was intended to provide a uniform color scale that would more closely align with human vision.
The primary name is CIE 1960 UCS (Uniform Color Scale). It is also referred to as the CIE 1960 (u, v) chromaticity space.
Colors in the CIE 1960 UCS are expressed in terms of chromaticity coordinates 'u' and 'v' derived from the CIE XYZ color space, with the addition of a 'W' coordinate representing the luminance factor.
The CIE 1960 UCS is used for applications where a more perceptually linear color space is useful. It's often used in color research and for specifying the colors of light sources and illuminants.
The CIE 1960 UCS is an intermediate step towards the development of subsequent color spaces that are more perceptually uniform, such as CIELUV and CIELAB.
