A HSL color code, which stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness, is a color representation system used in digital design and computing. Unlike RGB, which is based on the red, green, and blue primary colors, HSL focuses on different aspects of color.
HSL color codes provide a more intuitive and user-friendly way to work with colors, making it easier to adjust color attributes like hue, saturation, and lightness for various design purposes in web and graphic design.
The LAB color space (specifically CIELAB or CIE L*a*b*) is a color standard defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976. It represents colors with three dimensions: 'L' for lightness (ranging from 0 for black to 100 for white), 'a' for the green-red color component, and 'b' for the blue-yellow color component. Unlike RGB or CMYK, LAB is designed to be device-independent, meaning it defines colors based on human perception rather than how they are produced by a specific screen or printer. This makes it an crucial intermediate space for converting between different color profiles.
