LAB(cielab) to HWB Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the LAB(cielab) color space.There are 3 channels in total, lightness,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -100 to 100.b,range from -100 to 100.

Defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976, as an improvement and extension of the CIE XYZ color space, designed to be a closer approximation to human visual non-linearity.

Commonly known as CIELAB color space, abbreviated as L*a*b* or Lab.

Lab colors are typically represented by three coordinates: L* for lightness, a* for green to red chromaticity, and b* for blue to yellow chromaticity. They can be algorithmically converted to other color spaces for display or printing on different devices.

The Lab color space is extensively used in color measurement and management, particularly important in fields requiring precise color matching and assessment such as digital printing, photography, image analysis, and industrial color testing.

The advantage of the Lab color space lies in its device independence, allowing for consistent and accurate color conversion across different devices and software.

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.
