HSL : A Better Way to Define the Color
2 min readFeb 1, 2018
It’s easy to define a color in HSL Color Model than in RGB Color Model. Because HSL is based on the color theory, RGB comes from mixing colors.
When you need a color, you can define the hue value (H) first. Here, I need a color like coffee. I pick the value about 20°, it is orange right now. Then I set the saturation (S) to 70% and adjust its lightness (L) to 50%.
(H) Hue
(S) Saturation
(L) Lightness
Finally, I get the coffee I want based on the impression of color thanks to HSL Color Model !
