I'm doing another project for another class and am using the HSV color space in openCV. I was not aware of all of the different ways we can represent colors! This is really cool.

Are any of these models equivalent? Like I know in my limited experience with color pickers that it looks like I can pick the same colors in HSV that I can with RGB. Is this actually true?

@dchen1 It looks like there are known conversions between HSL and HSV based on this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV#HSV_to_RGB), based on chroma (color purity) and hue. Later in this slidedeck, when color conversions are mentioned, I think Keenan said that matching output spectrums precisely isn't always possible (based on device limitations).

Ive seen HSV interpreted as a cone shape as well. Is there a difference in the cone vs cylinder shape?
