LUV(cieluv,cie1976) to HSL Converter - Color Space Converter

LUV(cieluv,cie1976) color space introduction

Also known as the LUV(cieluv,cie1976) color space.There are 3 channels in total, lightness,range from 0 to 100.u,range from -134 to 224.v,range from -140 to 122.
Developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976 as a uniform color space that would more accurately reflect human visual perception.
Commonly known as CIELUV, the space is also referred to as L*u*v* or LUV.
Color in the CIELUV space is expressed with three coordinates: L* for lightness, u* for the green-red chromaticity component, and v* for the blue-yellow chromaticity component.
CIELUV is used in various industries where accurate color reproduction is needed, such as color printing, in the manufacturing of textiles and plastics, and in color television broadcasting.
The CIELUV color space is especially useful for applications that require taking into account the conditions under which colors are viewed, including the effects of different types of lighting on color appearance.

HSL color space introduction

Also known as the HSL color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.lightness,range from 0 to 100.
Origin: HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It provides an intuitive way to describe colors, aligning closely with how we typically discuss color properties such as hue, saturation, and lightness.
Primary Name: HSL, which includes three color channels: H (Hue), S (Saturation), and L (Lightness).
It's usually represented as a triplet, for instance: hsl(120, 100%, 50%) indicates a pure green color with 100% saturation and 50% lightness.
Usage: HSL is used in computer graphics, image editing, and style design, especially in scenarios where there's a need for intuitive color property adjustments. In CSS, HSL is also used as one of the methods to define colors.
Additionally, it's worth noting that HSL has clear conversion formulas with RGB. While RGB is a commonly used color model in modern display technology, adjusting colors directly in RGB may not be as intuitive as in the HSL space. HSL is similar to HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), but they differ slightly in how they describe color brightness or luminance.
