Frequently Asked Questions

Can HSL represent every color in RGB?

Yes. HSL and RGB share the exact same sRGB color gamut; HSL is simply a mathematical coordinate transformation of RGB.

What does 100% Lightness produce in HSL?

Any hue with 100% lightness results in pure white, regardless of saturation or hue angle.
