What is LCH Code?

LCH is a cylindrical representation of the LAB color space, using Lightness, Chroma, and Hue components. Lightness ranges from 0 to 100, Chroma represents color intensity (0 to ~134), and Hue represents the color angle (0-360 degrees). LCH is more intuitive than LAB for color manipulation as it separates lightness from color information. It's particularly useful in color grading, print production, and advanced color correction workflows where precise color control is required.

Structure:

LCH is represented as L (Lightness 0-100), C (Chroma 0-134), and H (Hue 0-360°), providing a cylindrical representation of LAB color space.

Examples:

  • LCH(53, 104, 40) - Pure Red
  • LCH(88, 119, 136) - Pure Green
  • LCH(32, 133, 306) - Pure Blue
  • LCH(100, 0, 0) - White
  • LCH(0, 0, 0) - Black

What is YUV Code?

YUV is a color encoding system used primarily in video and television broadcasting. Y represents luma (brightness), U represents blue-difference chroma component, and V represents red-difference chroma component. YUV separates luminance from chrominance, allowing for efficient compression and transmission of video signals. This separation takes advantage of human vision's greater sensitivity to brightness than color, enabling better compression ratios in video codecs and broadcast systems.

Structure:

YUV consists of Y (Luma/brightness 0-255), U (blue-difference chrominance), and V (red-difference chrominance) components, typically ranging from 0-255.

Examples:

  • YUV(76, 85, 255) - Pure Red
  • YUV(150, 44, 21) - Pure Green
  • YUV(29, 255, 107) - Pure Blue
  • YUV(255, 128, 128) - White
  • YUV(0, 128, 128) - Black

Logic behind LCH to YUV Conversion

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