Understanding the HSB Color Model: Hue, Saturation, and Brightness Explained

HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) is a color model used to represent colors in a three-dimensional space. It is also known as the HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) model.

In the HSB model, colors are represented by three values:

1. Hue: This represents the color's position on the color wheel, ranging from 0° (red) to 360° (back to red).
2. Saturation: This represents the intensity of the color, with a value of 0% representing a grayscale color and a value of 100% representing a fully saturated color.
3. Brightness: This represents the lightness of the color, with a value of 0% representing black and a value of 100% representing white.

The HSB model is commonly used in digital design and image processing because it allows for precise control over the hue, saturation, and brightness of colors. It is also easy to convert between the HSB and RGB color models, which makes it useful for applications where both models are required.
