LAB(cielab) to OKHSV Converter - Color Space Converter

LAB(cielab) color space introduction

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.

OKHSV color space introduction

Also known as the OKHSV color space.There are 3 channels in total,H,range from 0 to 360.S,range from 0 to 1.V,range from 0 to 1.
OKHSV is a color space designed by Björn Ottosson, derived from the OKLab color space. Like OKHSL, OKHSV is an adaptation of the traditional HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) model, aiming to offer a more perceptually uniform approach to color representation than the standard HSV model.
OKHSV color space.
In the OKHSV color space, colors are represented by Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Value (V), aligning more closely with human color perception and making color adjustments more consistent and intuitive.
OKHSV is primarily used in applications requiring perceptual uniformity and intuitive color adjustments, such as image processing and user interface design.
Due to its perceptual uniformity, OKHSV is more intuitive and consistent for color adjustments, particularly suited for graphic design and user interface layouts.
