General Information
RGB
R (Red) G (Green) B (Blue) is an additive color model where Red , Green and Blue are mixed to create the various colors and shades. RGB is used primarily in digital equipment.
HEX
HEX Values are based on RGB and used in WEB design and programming to represnt a specific color
Colorsleuth allows for a value to be entered either as RGB or HEX. The Hex value is derived by taking the RGB value , converting from decimal to Hex. R = 255 = FF , G= 255 = FF, B = 255 = FF represented as 0xFFFFFF (white)
CMYK
C (Cyan) M (Magenta) Y (Yellow) K (Key -Black) is a subtractive color model and is generally used in printing, There is no direct conversion from RGB to CMYK as it depends on the printer and inks being used in the printing process.
HSV
H (Hue) S (Saturation) V (Value) and HSL are two related representations of points in an RGB color space, which attempt to describe perceptual color relationships more accurately than RGB, while remaining computationally simple. HSL stands for hue, saturation, lightness, while HSV stands for hue, saturation, value.
