HSV to RGB Color Conversion

That function expects decimal for s (saturation) and v (value), not percent. Divide by 100.

>>> import colorsys

# Using percent, incorrect
>>> test_color = colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(359,100,100)
>>> test_color
(100, -9900.0, -9900.0)

# Using decimal, correct
>>> test_color = colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(1,1,1)
>>> test_color
(1, 0.0, 0.0)

If you would like the non-normalized RGB tuple, here is a function to wrap the colorsys function.

def hsv2rgb(h,s,v):
    return tuple(round(i * 255) for i in colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(h,s,v))

Example functionality

>>> hsv2rgb(0.5,0.5,0.5)
(64, 128, 128)
