Please add support for HSL, the human-interpretable colour space, in Vision. E.g. When binding a client string tag colour to a colour property with the value `hsl(260, 50%, 80%)`. Currently this is interpreted as RGB(260, 50, 80).

RGB is the most widely used colour space due to Stockholm Syndrome. People have always used it before and are "used to it", despite it being completely inhospitable to humans. It's like using the imperial system or like still using inferior SCADA platforms to Ignition.

> (i.e. HSL - got to plug HSL where I can!! RGB colour space is far too overused and complicated. If you don’t think so, tell me what colour #2BCA95 is. Compare that to hsl(160, 65%, 48%) knowing that main colour hues (R,Y,G,B,M,(R)) are 60 degrees apart, you already know that it’s blue-green (G=120, B=180) with simple, brain-friendly, memorisable year 2 maths)
