HSV till 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.

Konverteringarna använder avancerade färgmatchningsalgoritmer baserade på LAB-färgrymden, vilket överensstämmer med mänsklig färguppfattning. Även om de är mycket exakta för de flesta tillämpningar, är perfekta matchningar inte alltid möjliga på grund av skillnader i färgskalor (det färgomfång som kan reproduceras) mellan digitala skärmar och fysiska material. Konfidenspoängen visar hur nära matchningen är, där poäng över 90 % representerar utmärkta matchningar.
