Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HSV color model?
HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, and Value. Hue represents the color type (0-360 degrees on a color wheel), Saturation represents color intensity (0-100%), and Value represents brightness (0-100%). It is also known as HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness).
When should I use HSV instead of RGB?
HSV is more intuitive when you need to adjust a color's brightness or intensity without changing the hue. It is widely used in color pickers, image editing software, and computer vision applications where perceptual color adjustments are important.
