About HSV
HSV (also called HSB in some apps) uses hue, saturation (0–100%), and value/brightness (0–100%). It aligns with how many color wheels behave.
About RGB
RGB expresses a color as three integers from 0 to 255 for red, green, and blue in the sRGB space. It matches how screens mix light.
How to convert HSV to RGB
Enter a valid HSV value in the calculator. The tool follows the pipeline below: parse your input, hold the color as sRGB (with alpha when relevant), then format the result as RGB.
Accepted shapes include CSS-like functions (e.g. rgb(...), hsl(...)) and compact comma-separated numbers where appropriate. Hex may include or omit the leading #.
Conversion procedure
- Parse HSV: accept hsv(h, s%, v%) (sometimes called HSB in other apps) with the same numeric conventions as HSL: hue 0–360°, saturation and value 0–100%. Again, these values are inputs only; the engine converts them to RGB next.
- Convert HSV → sRGB: S and V (value / brightness) are scaled to 0–1. Chroma C = V × S. As with HSL, hue selects which two of R,G,B carry the chroma and intermediate values; m = V − C is added to each channel before scaling to 0–255 with rounding and clamping.
- Build RGB: emit css rgb(r, g, b) with integer channels 0–255 separated by commas and spaces, matching common authoring style.
- Finalize: the result string is what you copy from the calculator. The line under the fields summarizes the path in short form (RGB ← sRGB ← HSV). Rounding is intentional so values read like typical CSS; tiny differences versus other apps can still appear because of integer hue, saturation, lightness/value, or ink percentages.
- HSL/HSV reminder: when hue, saturation, and lightness/value are shown as whole numbers, more than one underlying RGB can produce the same text. Typing those integers back into a converter may therefore differ by ±1 from a color you first picked as HEX in the Color Picker—that is expected rounding behavior, not a broken formula.
Example
Input (HSV): hsv(204, 76%, 86%)
Output (RGB): rgb(53, 153, 219)
Summary
This page converts HSV input into RGB output. The numbered “Conversion procedure” above is the full breakdown: validation and parsing, conversion to a single internal sRGB (+ alpha) sample, derivation of RGB coordinates from that sample, and final rounding to the strings you see in CSS-oriented tools. The same pipeline runs in your browser as you type.
Relationship context
HSV (hue, saturation, value) and RGB (red, green, blue) are different ways to describe the same sRGB color (except CMYK, which is an approximate ink model). Converting HSV → RGB does not change the underlying color within the limits of each notation; it only changes how numbers are written.
Example conversions
Sample HSV values and the matching RGB output using the same rules as the calculator.
| HSV input | RGB output |
|---|---|
| hsv(0, 100%, 100%) | rgb(255, 0, 0) |
| hsv(120, 100%, 50%) | rgb(0, 128, 0) |
| hsv(204, 76%, 86%) | rgb(53, 153, 219) |
