HSL is often used in graphic design, web design, and digital art because it aligns more closely with human perception of colour than other models, like RGB or CMYK. It allows for more intuitive adjustments to colour, making it easier to create harmonious colour palettes.
Designers often use HSL to choose colours because it’s easier to adjust hue, saturation, and lightness independently. For instance, if a designer wants to create a monochromatic palette, they can maintain the same hue while varying saturation and lightness.
HSL is useful for creating smooth gradients, as designers can easily control the transition of colours by adjusting the hue while maintaining consistent saturation and lightness.
HSL values can be directly used in CSS. For example, hsl(210, 100%, 50%) would produce a vibrant blue. This allows web designers to define colours in a way that’s intuitive for adjusting themes or styles.
HSL makes it easy to implement interactive elements that change colour based on user actions (like hover effects) by manipulating the saturation or lightness.
Many programs (like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator) include HSL sliders, enabling artists to fine-tune colours easily. This helps in achieving specific moods and atmospheres by adjusting lightness and saturation.
Artists can utilise HSL to create harmonious colour schemes (complementary, analogous, triadic, etc.) by selecting hues that work well together and adjusting their saturation and lightness for balance.
In photo editing software, HSL adjustments allow photographers to fine-tune colours in an image selectively. For example, they can enhance the greens of a landscape while leaving other colours unchanged by adjusting the saturation and lightness of the green hue.
Photographers and videographers use HSL to achieve a desired look or mood by manipulating colour tones in their images or footage.
HSL can help designers create accessible colour palettes that maintain contrast and visibility by adjusting lightness and saturation without changing the hue.
Using HSL allows for the creation of light and dark mode themes by simply adjusting the lightness component while keeping the hue consistent.
HSL can be used to create visually appealing and easily interpretable charts by varying saturation and lightness to distinguish different data series or categories.
