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

What is Float Code?

Float RGB represents colors using floating-point numbers between 0.0 and 1.0 for each RGB component. This format provides higher precision than standard 8-bit RGB and is commonly used in computer graphics, 3D rendering, and professional image processing applications. Float RGB allows for more accurate color calculations and prevents precision loss during complex color operations. It's particularly important in HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging and advanced rendering pipelines where extended color ranges are required.

Structure:

Float RGB uses three floating-point values between 0.0 and 1.0 for red, green, and blue components, providing higher precision than integer RGB.

Examples:

  • Float(1.0, 0.0, 0.0) - Pure Red
  • Float(0.0, 1.0, 0.0) - Pure Green
  • Float(0.0, 0.0, 1.0) - Pure Blue
  • Float(1.0, 1.0, 1.0) - White
  • Float(0.0, 0.0, 0.0) - Black

Logic behind HWB to FLOAT Conversion

HWB to FLOAT conversion involves mathematical transformation between color spaces. The conversion process typically uses intermediate RGB values when direct conversion formulas are not available. HWB 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.
