Converting from HSV (HSB in Java) to RGB without using java.awt.Color (disallowed on Google App Engine)

Question

I figured I should post this question, even if I have already found a solution, as a Java implementation was not readily available when I searched for it.

Using HSV

Answer 1

You should use the HSBtoRGB implementation provided by Oracle, copying its source code into your project. java.awt.Color is open-source. The algorithms provided by Peter Recore and Yngling are not robust and will return illegal RGB values like "256,256,0" for certain inputs. Oracle's implementation is robust, use it instead.
