RGB to HSV

In the RGB Color Model, R represents Red, G represents Green, and B represents Blue. These three are the primary colors of light. All the other colors are formed by the combination of these three colors, and it is thought that the mixing of many different colors could not create these three colors.

According to some studies, each primary color's intensity can vary from 0 to 255, which means that for each color, you can produce 256 shades—with three primary colors, this results in almost 16,777,216 colors.
If R = 0, G = 0, B = 0, you will get black; if R = 255, G = 255, B = 255, then you will get white. That Color Model is an additive color model.

In the HSV Color Model, the H represents the Hue, the S represents the Saturation, and the V represents the Value (Brightness). Therefore, in this color model, the color is represented by the Hue it carries, its saturation (Saturation), and its Brightness.

The HSV Color Model represents color in an intuitive way; that is, how colors relate to humans.

In that color model, the Hue takes the value from 0 to 360 degrees (on the color wheel, Red falls at 0 to 60 degrees, Yellow falls at 60 to 120 degrees, Green falls at 120 to 180 degrees, Cyan falls at 180 to 240 degrees, Blue falls at 240 to 300 degrees, and Magenta falls at 300 to 360 degrees). The Saturation and Brightness take the value from 0 to 100 percent.

The HSV Color Model is the alternative representation of the RGB Color Model.

The RGB Color Model is the most popular color model for mixing and creating colors. Red, Green, and Blue are the primary colors of light, and all the other colors are formed by combining these three colors and various intensities. However, the problem with that color model is that people do not understand the colors as a mix of these three colors.

If computer graphics students have to create colors like greenish-blue, it becomes quite tricky for them to develop such a color. Because in the RGB Model, you do not know the actual intensity that each color requires to create such a color, how should you make it appear lighter or darker? These are the reasons that the RGB Model is unable to answer.

Therefore, the artists developed another system to define more human-friendly colors, known as the HSV Color Model. That color model is also called the HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Lightness) Color Model.

Manually converting the color from one color model to another is quite tricky. Therefore, web developers have developed several online tools that convert RGB to HSV.

Do the following steps to convert the RGB color value to the HSV color value.

• Open the RGB to HSV Color Converter Tool.
• Enter the Red, Green, and Blue color values.
• You can also use the "Color Palette" to select the required color.
• Click on the "Convert to HSV" button.
• It will convert the RGB color values to the HSV color values.
• Click on the "Copy" button and paste it into the desired location.
• In the end, a list of a wide range of commonly used colors is given—their name. HEX, RGB, HSV, and CMYK color codes are provided in front of each color.
• The search facility is also provided to search for a color by its color name, HEX, RGB, HSV, or CMYK color code value.

Note: You can also convert HSV color values to RGV color values using HSV to RGB Color Converter.
