REC.2100-PQ to HWB Converter - Color Space Converter

REC.2100-PQ color space introduction

Also known as the REC.2100-PQ color space.There are 3 channels in total, Red,range from 0 to 1.Green,range from 0 to 1.Blue,range from 0 to 1.
Rec. 2100 PQ (Perceptual Quantizer) is one of the HDR standards developed under ITU-R BT.2100, designed to accurately represent a wide range of brightness levels from deep blacks to intense highlights, far exceeding what standard dynamic range (SDR) can offer.
Rec. 2100 PQ color space.
In the Rec. 2100 PQ color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, designed based on the human visual system to ensure that each increment in brightness is perceived uniformly.
Rec. 2100 PQ is primarily used in HDR video production and playback that require a wide range of brightness representation.
Rec. 2100 PQ is widely used in professional video production and high-end television playback due to its precision in representing HDR content and uniform perceptual brightness increments.

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.
