What is HEX Code?

HEX color codes are a hexadecimal representation of RGB colors, widely used in web development and digital design. Each HEX code consists of a hash symbol (#) followed by six characters representing red, green, and blue components. The first two characters represent red, the next two green, and the last two blue. Each pair represents a value from 00 to FF in hexadecimal (0-255 in decimal). HEX codes provide a compact and standardized way to specify colors across different platforms and applications.

Structure:

HEX codes start with # followed by 6 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). The format is #RRGGBB where RR is red, GG is green, and BB is blue components in hexadecimal.

Examples:

#FF0000 - Pure Red
#00FF00 - Pure Green
#0000FF - Pure Blue
#FFFFFF - White
#000000 - Black

What is HWB Code?

HWB is a color model that represents colors using Hue, Whiteness, and Blackness components. Hue represents the base color (0-360 degrees), Whiteness represents how much white is mixed with the base color (0-100%), and Blackness represents how much black is mixed (0-100%). HWB is considered more intuitive than HSL for some applications as it directly corresponds to mixing paint colors. It's gaining popularity in web development and provides an alternative way to specify colors that's often more natural for designers.

Structure:

HWB is represented as hwb(H W% B%) where H is hue in degrees (0-360), W is whiteness percentage (0-100%), and B is blackness percentage (0-100%).

Examples:

hwb(0 0% 0%) - Pure Red
hwb(120 0% 0%) - Pure Green
hwb(240 0% 0%) - Pure Blue
hwb(0 100% 0%) - White
hwb(0 0% 100%) - Black

Logic behind HEX to HWB Conversion

HEX to HWB conversion involves mathematical transformation between color spaces. The conversion process typically uses intermediate RGB values when direct conversion formulas are not available. HEX values are first normalized to standard ranges, then transformed using colorimetric equations specific to each color space. The conversion maintains perceptual color accuracy through proper gamma correction and color space mapping algorithms.

Use-cases of HEX and HWB

1Web development and CSS: Converting HEX specifications to HWB format for workflow compatibility

2Cross-platform design: Ensuring color consistency between applications using different color formats

3Brand identity: Converting brand colors between HEX and HWB for consistent representation

4Digital asset preparation: Converting color values for different output requirements and platforms

5Color workflow optimization: Streamlining design processes with accurate format conversions
