HEX to DLCH(DIN99 LCH) Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the HEX color space.

Source: Hexadecimal color codes originated from early computer graphic design, where there was a need for a concise way to represent colors. Since each RGB channel can have 256 possible values (ranging from 0 to 255), they can be represented as a two-digit hexadecimal number.

Primary name: Hexadecimal color code

It is represented using 6 hexadecimal characters, typically prefixed with '#'. For instance, red can be represented as #FF0000; the first two characters represent the red channel, the middle two represent the green channel, and the last two represent the blue channel. Occasionally, there might be 8 characters where the first two represent transparency (alpha channel), but this is not standard.

Usage: Mainly used in web design and CSS style definitions, but also in other scenarios where a quick and concise representation of color is required.

Pros: Hexadecimal color codes offer a compact representation of colors, making it very suitable for web and coding environments. Cons: To the general public, hexadecimal codes might not be as intuitive as other methods. For instance, seeing #FFA07A might not immediately suggest the color light salmon to most people.

Also known as the DLCH(DIN99 LCH) color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 100.C,range from 0 to 51.484.H,range from 0 to 360.

DIN99 LCH is a color space based on the DIN99 colorimetric system. It's an LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue) representation, which is a derivative of the CIELAB color space. The DIN99 system was developed to improve the perceptual uniformity of the LAB color space, making color differences more consistent with human vision.

DIN99 LCH color space.

In the DIN99 LCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*99), Chroma (C*99), and Hue angle (h°99).

DIN99 LCH is commonly used in fields requiring precise color matching and analysis, such as the textile and plastics industries.

The DIN99 LCH color space is widely used in color science and industrial applications due to its perceptual uniformity in representing colors.
