Intro
THe HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color model is more aligned to how humans perceive colors.
- Hue:: color type expressed as angle on color wheel (0–360°)
- Saturation:: color intensity or purity from 0% (completely desaturated, grayscale) to 100% (most vibrant form of that color) 1
- Value / Lightness:: brightness from 0% - 100%
- Used in UI design, digital art tools, and color pickers
HSV is often easier to understand for humans because it separates chromatic content from brightness and mimics the way we perceive color. We think about colors in terms of hue (red, green, etc.), how vivid they are (saturation), and how light or dark they are (value). Its better for color manipulation. In digital imaging and graphics, HSV is often used in applications where you want to change the color’s hue (e.g., shifting a color to a different shade), adjust its brightness, or alter its vibrancy without affecting other components.
