HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness, a way to describe and manipulate colors. Hue refers to the color type, like red, blue, or green, represented on a color wheel. Saturation indicates how vivid or intense the color is; high saturation means bright, low means dull or muted. Lightness describes how light or dark the color appears; adding white makes it lighter, black makes it darker. Together, these components allow precise control over color appearance, facilitating tasks like digital design, photo editing, and color matching with clarity and flexibility.
