About RGB to HSL
Why designers use HSL
HSL separates hue, saturation, and lightness into more intuitive controls, which makes it easier to build tonal scales, adjust accents, and evaluate palette relationships.
RGB vs. HSL
RGB describes light intensity by red, green, and blue channels, while HSL emphasizes how a color feels visually through its hue position, intensity, and brightness.
