XYZ Color Converter
Convert sRGB hex colors to CIE XYZ D65 and back.
How XYZ Color Converter works
XYZ Color Converter is designed to convert sRGB hex colors to CIE XYZ D65 and back. The converter linearizes sRGB channels and multiplies them by the standard D65 sRGB-to-XYZ matrix before scaling Y to 100. XYZ Color Converter adds a focused result for this operation. For XYZ Color Converter, its displayed result gives the current settings a concrete value that can be checked before anything is copied or downloaded.
The default #ff0000 converts to X 41.24564, Y 21.26729, and Z 1.93339 using the D65 reference white. Use XYZ coordinates when checking color-science calculations or moving between device RGB and perceptual Lab or LCH models. In XYZ Color Converter, that reproducible starting point makes later changes easier to evaluate because the underlying method stays constant.
Limits, output, and privacy
XYZ is reference-white dependent; these values use D65 and should not be compared directly with D50 print-workflow numbers. For XYZ Color Converter, the conversion assumes standard sRGB and D65; colors outside the display gamut are clipped to available channel values. XYZ Color Converter keeps the operation client-side. With XYZ Color Converter, the page processes its source locally, then copies or downloads the in-memory result without uploading it.
