What is hsb?

HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) is a color model used in digital imaging and color theory. It is often used in computer graphics and design to represent colors in a way that is more intuitive for human perception.

• Hue: represents the color itself, ranging from 0 to 360 degrees on the color wheel. It is what we commonly think of as the name of a color, such as red, blue, or green.
• Saturation: indicates the intensity or purity of the color, ranging from 0% (grayscale) to 100% (fully saturated color). A low saturation value results in a more pastel or muted color.
• Brightness: refers to the amount of light present in the color, ranging from 0% (black) to 100% (white). It determines how light or dark a color appears.

HSB is often used in graphics software to allow users to adjust colors easily by changing these three parameters. It provides a more intuitive way to control and manipulate colors compared to other color models like RGB or CMYK.
