HEX to HSV Converter

HEX to HSV Color Converter is a free browser-based color conversion tool that instantly converts HEX color values to HSV color values.

HEX Color Model is a representation of color in hexadecimal form. A HEX color code begins with a hashtag (#), followed by a string of six characters (letters, numbers, or a combination). Each HEX code represents a mixture of a specific proportion of red, blue, and green colors.

HEX color model is a shorthand for the RGB color model. The nice thing about it is that it is browser-safe. Whatever browser you use, the color will remain the same. It is also referred to as the HTML color code.

Hex is a 24-bit hexadecimal code representing red, blue, and green colors. For example, in #123456, the first two digits (12) represent the red color, the next two digits (34) represent the green color, and the last two digits (56) represent the blue color. You can create up to 16 million possible colors.

The HSV color model is an alternative representation of the RGB color model. This color model is also known as HSL (hue, saturation, and value).

Today, undoubtedly, the most commonly used color model is RGB. But the problem with the RGB color model is that you cannot specify exact red, green, and blue values to get the desired result. That’s why artists developed another way to define colors, called the HSV color model.

In the HSV color model, H stands for Hue, S stands for Saturation, and V stands for Value. Hue ranges from 0 to 360 degrees, representing the angle each color occupies in the color hexagon. Saturation is the degree of purity of each color, ranging from 0 to 100 percent. Value is the brightness, also ranging from 0 to 100 percent.

In the color hexagon, red falls from 0 to 60 degrees, yellow falls from 60 to 120 degrees, green falls from 120 to 180 degrees, cyan falls from 180 to 240 degrees, blue falls from 240 to 300, and purple falls from 300 to 360 degrees.

Before using the tool, it’s important to know the difference between the two color models.

HEX color model is a shorthand version of the RGB color model. HEX color model is suitable for web browsers because whichever browser you use, color rendering will remain the same. HEX is also known as HTML color codes. In comparison to HEX, HSV is an alternative representation of the RGB color model. The HSV color model is closer to how humans perceive and relate to colors.

HEX color model is used for specifying color on web pages, while HSV color model is used in graphic design software and photo editing software.
