Da HSV a Pantone

HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, and Value. It's a color model that describes colors in a way that aligns with human perception: Hue represents the color itself (0-360° on a color wheel), Saturation is the intensity or purity of the color (0-100%), and Value is the brightness or darkness (0-100%). This model is particularly popular in digital design and painting applications.

While both HSV and HSL use Hue (0-360°) and Saturation (0-100%), they differ in their third component. HSV's Value represents brightness, where 100% is full brightness and 0% is black. HSL's Lightness represents the relative lightness, where 50% is the pure color, 0% is black, and 100% is white. HSV tends to be more intuitive for digital painting, while HSL is often preferred for UI design.

HSV is ideal for digital creation and screen-based designs, but when moving to physical production (printing, textiles, etc.), Pantone's standardized system ensures consistent results across different materials and production runs. Converting HSV to Pantone helps maintain color integrity between digital design and physical output, preventing costly mismatches.

Le conversioni utilizzano algoritmi avanzati di corrispondenza dei colori basati sullo spazio colore LAB, che si allinea alla percezione umana dei colori. Sebbene estremamente accurati per la maggior parte delle applicazioni, non sempre è possibile ottenere corrispondenze perfette a causa delle differenze nelle gamme cromatiche (la gamma di colori riproducibili) tra display digitali e materiali fisici. Il punteggio di affidabilità indica quanto è vicina la corrispondenza, con punteggi superiori al 90% che rappresentano corrispondenze eccellenti.
