How this Shift Hue of a Color works

This color manipulation tool rotates the hue of an image or color value around the color wheel. Users can upload an image or input a hex code and adjust the hue degree (0-360). This effect changes the overall color palette (e.g., turning reds to blues) while preserving lightness and saturation. Useful for designers testing color variations, creating psychedelic effects, or quickly rebranding assets. Processing is handled via CSS filters or canvas pixel manipulation for instant, browser-based feedback.
