HSL color space

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness, a way to describe colors more intuitively. Hue represents the color type (like red, blue, or green), measured in degrees around a color wheel. Saturation indicates how vivid or pure the color is; higher saturation means more intense color, while lower makes it more muted or grayish. Lightness describes how bright or dark the color appears, from black to white. HSL helps in design and digital art by allowing easy adjustment of color properties to achieve the desired visual effect.
