Hue (H)221°
Saturation (S)84%
Value / Brightness92%
Technical Specification & Mathematical Principles
The Value/Brightness is defined directly by the peak RGB channel: V = max(r, g, b).
Saturation is computed as S = (max - min) / max when max > 0, otherwise 0.
Frequently Asked Questions
HSL models color as a double cone where pure colors sit at Lightness 50% and 100% Lightness is pure white. HSV (also known as HSB) models a single inverted cone where pure colors sit at Value 100%, and decreasing Saturation introduces white.
