YUV(EBU) to Oklch Converter - Color Space Converter

YUV(EBU) color space introduction

Also known as the YUV(EBU) color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.U,range from -0.5 to 0.5.V,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YUV color space was designed for analog video signal transmission, separating luminance information (Y) from chrominance information (U and V) to improve the efficiency of color transmission and ensure compatibility with black and white television.
Primary Names: YUV color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, and 'U' and 'V' represent the chrominance components, describing the difference in color from a reference white.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YUV(0.5, -0.33, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chrominance.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in analog video transmission and compression. In modern applications, YUV is common in digital video encoding and broadcasting, video editing software, and image processing.
Additionally, the YUV format is very effective in color processing to reduce bandwidth requirements because it allows the resolution of chrominance components to be reduced during transmission rather than luminance components, taking advantage of the human eye's greater sensitivity to luminance over chrominance changes.

Oklch color space introduction

Also known as the Oklch color space.There are 3 channels in total,Lightness,range from 0 to 1.Chroma,range from 0 to 0.4.Hue,range from 0 to 360.
The OKLCH color space is derived from the OKLab color space, providing a cylindrical representation similar to LCH, but based on the more perceptually uniform OKLab color model.
OKLCH color space.
In the OKLCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L), Chroma (C), and Hue angle (H).
OKLCH is commonly used for tasks requiring a perceptually linear color space, such as color grading and graphic design.
OKLCH color space is suitable for advanced color editing and design tasks due to its perceptual uniformity.
