Convert RGB to HSL
Understanding RGB vs HSL
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
RGB is an additive color model based on how screens emit light. Each channel ranges from 0-255.
- R: Red channel (0-255)
- G: Green channel (0-255)
- B: Blue channel (0-255)
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)
HSL describes colors the way humans think about them — by their tint, vividness, and brightness.
- H: Hue — color angle (0-360°)
- S: Saturation — vividness (0-100%)
- L: Lightness — brightness (0-100%)
Why Use HSL?
- Easier to create color variations (just adjust lightness or saturation)
- More intuitive for designers to work with
- Great for creating accessible color palettes
- Simple to create hover states (e.g.,
hsl(h, s, l+10%))
