Question 1

What does HSL stand for?

Accepted Answer

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It is a color model that represents colors in a way that is highly intuitive for human designers, separating the base color (Hue) from its intensity (Saturation) and brightness (Lightness).

Question 2

Why do designers prefer HSL over RGB?

Accepted Answer

Designers prefer HSL because it makes adjusting colors much easier. If you want a darker shade of blue, you simply lower the Lightness value. In RGB, you would have to mathematically adjust all three red, green, and blue channels simultaneously.
