From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) model, also known as HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) or hexcone model, defines a color space in terms of three constituent components:
- Hue, the gradation of color
- Saturation, the departure from achromaticity
- Value, the departure from black, the color of zero energy
The HSV model was created in 1978 by Alvy Ray Smith in an attempt to better capture the artistic ideas of hue, tint, shade, and tone. It is a nonlinear transformation of the RGB color space, and may be used in color progressions. Note that HSV and HSB are the same, but HSL is different.
