HSV

HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, and Value, which are components used in the HSV color model to describe colors.

– **Hue** refers to the type of color, represented as a degree on the color wheel, indicating colors such as red, blue, or green.
– **Saturation** measures the intensity or purity of the color, ranging from vivid and bright (high saturation) to grayish or dull (low saturation).
– **Value** (sometimes referred to as Brightness) indicates the brightness of the color, with lower values being darker shades and higher values being lighter shades.

The HSV model is often used in graphics and image editing applications as it aligns more closely with human perception of colors compared to the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model. This model is especially useful for tasks involving color selection and manipulation, as it allows users to intuitively adjust colors based on their visual characteristics.
