如Y为灰度值、U和V为色调值。它和RGB的換算公式为:
Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B
U = -0.148R - 0.289G + 0.437B
V = 0.615R - 0.515G - 0.100B
R = Y + 1.140V
G = Y - 0.395U - 0.581V
B = Y + 2.032U
Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B
U = -0.148R - 0.289G + 0.437B
V = 0.615R - 0.515G - 0.100B
R = Y + 1.140V
G = Y - 0.395U - 0.581V
B = Y + 2.032U
