HEX HSV Converter

HEX to HSV refers to the process of converting a color from the HEX (Hexadecimal) format to the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color model.

What is HEX?
HEX (or Hexadecimal) is a color code used in digital design, consisting of 6 characters that represent the intensity of the Red, Green, and Blue components of a color.
Each pair of characters (from 00 to FF) represents the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue respectively in the range of 0 to 255.
What is HSV?
HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, and Value.
Hue represents the color type (expressed as an angle, 0° to 360°).
Saturation measures the color intensity (from 0% to 100%).
Value (or Brightness) represents how bright the color is, from 0% (black) to 100% (full brightness).
How to Convert HEX to HSV:
Extract the RGB values from the HEX code.

The HEX code consists of six characters, usually in the format #RRGGBB.
For example, for #FF6347:
RR (Red) = FF (255)
GG (Green) = 63 (99)
BB (Blue) = 47 (71)
Normalize the RGB values:

Convert each RGB component to a value between 0 and 1 by dividing each by 255.
For #FF6347, the RGB components would be:
R' = 255 / 255 = 1.0
G' = 99 / 255 ≈ 0.388
B' = 71 / 255 ≈ 0.278
Find the max and min RGB values:

max = max(R', G', B') = 1.0
min = min(R', G', B') ≈ 0.278
Calculate the Hue (H):

If max = min (i.e., gray), then H = 0.
Otherwise, use the following formulas based on which component is the maximum:
If max = R', then H = (60 × ((G' - B') / (max - min)) + 360) % 360.
If max = G', then H = (60 × ((B' - R') / (max - min)) + 120) % 360.
If max = B', then H = (60 × ((R' - G') / (max - min)) + 240) % 360.
For #FF6347:

Since max = R', the formula is:
H = (60 × ((G' - B') / (max - min)) + 360) % 360
H = (60 × ((0.388 - 0.278) / (1.0 - 0.278)) + 360) % 360 ≈ 9.89°
Calculate the Saturation (S):

If max = 0, then S = 0 (i.e., gray).
Otherwise, S = (max - min) / max.
For #FF6347:

S = (1.0 - 0.278) / 1.0 ≈ 0.722, or 72.2%.
Calculate the Value (V):

V = max.
For #FF6347:

V = 1.0, or 100%.
Final HSV:
The HSV equivalent of HEX #FF6347 is:

H ≈ 9.89° (reddish-orange hue)
S ≈ 72.2% (moderate saturation)
V = 100% (full brightness)
In Summary:
The conversion from HEX to HSV involves extracting the RGB components from the HEX code and then applying formulas to calculate Hue, Saturation, and Value. HSV is useful for color adjustments and is more intuitive when working with color selection.
