HWB to LCHuv(cielchuv) Converter - Color Space Converter

HWB color space introduction

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.

LCHuv(cielchuv) color space introduction

Also known as the LCHuv(cielchuv) color space.There are 3 channels in total,lightness,range from 0 to 100.chroma,range from 0 to 100.hue,range from 0 to 360.
Based on the CIELUV color space, proposed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976, it uses a cylindrical coordinate system instead of a rectangular one.
Commonly known as CIELCH_uv or LCH(uv), abbreviated as LCHuv.
The LCHuv color space expresses colors using lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue angle (h°), providing an intuitive way to describe colors.
The LCHuv color space is used in graphic and product design, especially suitable for color comparison and selection, and scenarios that require intuitive manipulation of colors.
The LCHuv color space is user-friendly for color selection based on hue and saturation, suitable for applications where the impact of lighting changes on color appearance needs to be considered.
