HSV naar 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.

De conversies maken gebruik van geavanceerde algoritmen voor kleurmatching op basis van de LAB-kleurruimte, die aansluit bij de menselijke kleurwaarneming. Hoewel zeer nauwkeurig voor de meeste toepassingen, zijn perfecte matches niet altijd mogelijk vanwege verschillen in kleurengamma's (het bereik van kleuren dat kan worden gereproduceerd) tussen digitale displays en fysieke materialen. De betrouwbaarheidsscore geeft aan hoe dicht de match is, waarbij scores boven de 90% staan ​​voor uitstekende matches.
