HEX to XYB 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 XYB color space.There are 3 channels in total,X,range from -0.0154 to 0.0281.Y,range from 0 to 0.8453.B,range from -0.2778 to 0.388.

The XYB color space was developed by Google as part of their JPEG XL image format. It's designed to be more efficient for compression and more aligned with human vision than traditional color spaces like RGB.

XYB color space.

In the XYB color space, colors are represented through X, Y, and B channels, with the Y channel representing luminance and X and B channels representing color information.

XYB is primarily used in the JPEG XL image format, suitable for enhancing image compression ratios and quality.

The XYB color space offers higher compression rates while maintaining image quality, making it very effective for web image transmission and storage.
