HEX to HSV

Convert HEX to HSV Online


Converting a HEX color code to HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) involves several steps. First, you need to convert the HEX color to its RGB (Red, Green, Blue) representation, and then you can convert the RGB values to HSV. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Convert HEX to RGB

HEX color codes consist of three pairs of hexadecimal values representing the red, green, and blue components of a color. Each pair ranges from 00 to FF (in decimal from 0 to 255).

For example, let's say you have the HEX color code #FF0000, which corresponds to pure red.

  • Red: FF (in decimal, 255)
  • Green: 00 (in decimal, 0)
  • Blue: 00 (in decimal, 0)

So, the RGB representation is (255, 0, 0).

Step 2: Convert RGB to HSV

Now that you have the RGB values, you can convert them to HSV. Here's the formula for converting RGB to HSV:

Let's calculate HSV for the RGB values (255, 0, 0):

  • R' = 255 / 255 = 1
  • G' = 0 / 255 = 0
  • B' = 0 / 255 = 0
Cmax = 1
Cmin = 0
 = 1

Since Cmax is R', H = (0 - 0) / 1 (mod 6) = 0 degrees
S =  / Cmax = 1 / 1 = 1
V = Cmax = 1

So, the HSV representation of the HEX color #FF0000 is (0, 100%, 100%). This corresponds to pure red with full saturation and value.
