The invention relates to the technical field of color space conversion, and discloses a method and a system for processing RGB (Red, Green, Blue) data. The method comprises the following steps of S1, converting three input color values of R, G and B into an HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color space; S2, under the condition of remaining a hue H value and a saturation S of the HSV color space value unchanged, adjusting a value of brightness V; and S3, converting the H value, the S value and the V value processed through the step S2 into the RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) color space from the HSV color space, and displaying. The RGB color space is converted into the HSV color space, the brightness V is improved under the condition of remaining the H and the S in the HSV color space unchanged, and the HSV color space is converted into the RGBW color space, so that the brightness can be improved while better hue and color saturation are maintained and color transition is natural.
