HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, Value. Hue is the color angle (0–360°), Saturation is the color intensity (0–100%), and Value is the brightness (0–100%). It is also called HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness).

What is the difference between HSV and HSL?

Both use Hue and Saturation, but differ in the third channel. HSV uses Value (brightness of the color itself), while HSL uses Lightness (how close to white or black). A fully saturated red is hsv(0,100%,100%) but hsl(0,100%,50%).

Does this tool support 3-digit HEX shorthand?

Yes. Codes like #F00 are automatically expanded to #FF0000 before conversion.

How do I convert HSV back to HEX?

Use the HSV sliders on the right panel. As you move the sliders the HEX code updates in real time so you can copy the result directly.

Is this the same as HSB?

Yes. HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) is another name for the same color model. The math and channel ranges are identical.
