What is HSL color code?
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.
- Hue: Represents the type of color, ranging from 0 to 360 degrees around the color wheel, where red is 0, green is 120, and blue is 240, for example.
- Saturation: Measures the purity of the color, with 0% being grayscale and 100% being fully saturated.
- Lightness: Specifies the brightness of the color, with 0% being black, 100% being white, and 50% being the original 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.
What is OKLAB color code?
The OKLAB color space is a perceptual color space designed by Björn Ottosson in 2020. It serves as a modern improvement over the traditional CIELAB space, aiming to be simple to use while correcting flaws in LAB's perceptual uniformity, especially in the handling of blue hues which can appear purple in LAB. OKLAB uses three coordinates: 'L' for perceived lightness, 'a' for green-red, and 'b' for blue-yellow. Its superior perceptual accuracy makes it excellent for tasks like color blending, gradient generation, and image processing.
