What is HSL?

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) represents colors using a cylindrical model. Hue is expressed as a degree on the color wheel (0-360°), Saturation as a percentage (0-100%), and Lightness as a percentage (0-100%). HSL is considered the most human-intuitive color model because adjusting one value predictably changes the color.

Used for: Creating color palettes, theming systems, accessibility adjustments, generating color variations

What is RGB?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) defines colors by specifying the intensity of each primary color channel on a scale of 0 to 255. It directly mirrors how screens produce color by combining red, green, and blue light. The format rgb(r, g, b) is natively supported in CSS and is intuitive for adjusting individual color channels.

Used for: CSS styling, JavaScript color manipulation, screen display calibration, LED programming
