  • I have looked into the colorHSV() function, so it returns the 32bit WRGB to be used in setPixelColor(). What i have is the starting RGB and the endpoint RGB, and i need to convert them to starting hue and enpoint hue. You mentioned that i do not need a function to convert RGB to HSV, so how do i get my start and end hue values? Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 12:39
  • My point was that the library doesn't have a function for going that way. I would suggest that you use an online color picker too to determine the HSV values and then just using them in the code (so that you don't use RGB values of your colors in your code). A short google search gave me this one. Input your RGB values, press Enter and then copy the HSV values. Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 13:33
  • By the way: When you look at the image of the HSV representation cylinder in the HSL and HSV wikipedia article you can see why you got white with your code. You moved at a straight line from one side of the cylinder to the other, passing the white in the middle in the process. Thats a good visual representation to help you understand the color space Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 13:40
  • Unfortunately my color source are generated by the code and will always output a RGB value. So i have two options rewrite a portion of my code and convert everything to HSV or use formulas like the one discussed here. i will have to think about it which is more compatible of what other things i might add to this project :) Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 14:53
  • there's a lot of rgb to hsl stand-alone snippets floating around. Commented Nov 16, 2021 at 18:39
