The HEX to HSV Converter is a tool that helps you convert colors from the hexadecimal (HEX) color format used in web design to the HSV color model often used in digital design software. This conversion is useful for designers who need to work with different color formats across various applications.
HEX colors are represented by a six-digit combination of numbers and letters, preceded by a hash symbol (#). For example, #FF0000 represents pure red. This format is commonly used in web design, CSS, and HTML.
HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) is a color model that represents colors in terms of:
- Hue: The color type (such as red, blue, or yellow) represented as an angle from 0° to 360°
- Saturation: The intensity or purity of the color (0% to 100%)
- Value: The brightness of the color (0% to 100%)
How to Convert HEX to HSV?
- Enter a HEX color code in the input field (e.g., #1A2B3C)
- Alternatively, use the color picker to select a color visually
- The tool will automatically convert the HEX code to HSV values
- View the color preview to see how your color looks
- Copy the HSV values for use in your design software
The conversion from HEX to HSV is a two-step process. First, the HEX color is converted to RGB, and then the RGB values are converted to HSV. This conversion is particularly useful when working with color selection tools, gradients, or color manipulation in design software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or Sketch.
The HSV color model is often preferred by designers because it's more intuitive to work with than RGB or CMYK. By separating the color (hue) from its intensity (saturation) and brightness (value), it makes it easier to create color variations and harmonies.
