HWB to HEX Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the HWB color space.There are 3 channels in total, hue,range from 0 to 360.whiteness,range from 0 to 100.blackness,range from 0 to 100.

Origin: The HWB color space is based on the HSL and HSV models and was proposed by Alvy Ray Smith in 1996 with the aim of simplifying the color selection process.

Primary Names: HWB, representing Hue, Whiteness, and Blackness.

Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hwb(120, 30%, 20%) represents a green hue with a blend of 30% white and 20% black.

Usage Scope: Primarily used in computer graphics for color picking, especially in web design and other applications that require intuitive color selection.

Additionally, the HWB model was designed to simplify color picking in user interfaces, making the transition from pure color to white or black more intuitive.

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.
