The HSV color model defines color space using three components: hue, saturation, and value. Hue represents the color, defined as an angle from 0-360 degrees and correlates to colors like red, yellow, green, etc. Saturation indicates the amount of gray in a color, ranging from 0% (gray) to 100% (vibrant color). Value represents the brightness level from 0% (black) to 100% (full brightness). The HSV color space is widely used in computer graphics and image editing to select and manipulate colors.

2. Hue, Saturation and Value(HSV)
defines a type of color space.
similar to modern RGB and CMYK models
describes colors in terms of their
shade(saturation or amount of gray) and their
brightness(value or luminance).

3.  In HSV, hue represents color. In this model, hue is an
angle from 0 degrees to 360 degrees.
Hue
Angle Color
0-60 Red
60-120 Yellow
120-180 Green
180-240 Cyan
240-300 Blue
300-360 Magenta

4.  Indicates the range of
grey in color space.
 Ranges from 0 to 100%
or sometimes from 0-1.
 For value ‘0’, the color
is grey and the value
‘1’, the color is primary
color.
A fades color is
due to a lower saturation
level, which means the
color contains more grey.
Saturation

5. Value
 works in conjunction with saturation.
 describes the brightness or intensity of the color from
0% to 100%.
 Value is ‘0’ the color space will be totally black.
with the increase in the value, the color space
brightness up and shows various colors.

6. Application of HSV
• The HSV color space is widely used to generate high
quality computer graphics.
or is used to select various different colors needed
for a particular picture.
• An HSV color wheel is used to select the desired color.
A user can select the particular color needed for the
picture from the color wheel.
• Used in color pickers, image editing software, image
analysis, computer vision.
