or human readable HSL. RGB/HEX are horrid creatures only readable by machine, for the most part (tell me what colour #F68C5A is without plugging it into something. Now tell me what colour hsl(65, 80%, 60%) is, knowing that main colours are 60deg apart R Y G C B M)
Halfway down under the heading “HSL is meant to be More Human Understandable!”, although I disagree with some of the things said in this article, like “use whatever you’re used to”. No, use what is best!
#F68C5A = 15x16+6 (or 255-9) R 8x16+12 G 5x16+10 B = 246R,+ 140G + 90B = something light orange i guess.
I honestly never have heard of hsl before i saw you mention it in a post somewhere else xd
And ive been a web dev a while xd guess thats why im used to hex xd
You've never used this?
Apart from the palette in this popup, HSL is all I use here and anywhere I have colours. The less mental load I have, the more I can put that to good use elsewhere, especially when it comes to reducing saturation/lightness of a colour.
Of course, this colour tool spits out HEX which is annoying....
Nope ive not used it ever.
guess im just so used to rgb/hex from my webdev years. I can see the value of it for lightness, but i find it harder to think of the right base color in hsl idk. guess the more options people can use the beter 
hex is gonna be more performant tho, not that its gonna make any noticable difference xD
I guess I still drive a manual (stick shift?) car and will (hopefully) never have to drive an auto! Everyone has their cruxes, even if they’re clearly wrong 
I don't support Internet Explorer, let alone older versions of it 
Consistency is one thing, but if Ignition was consistent (meaning just banging on with the same old from yesteryear), we wouldn't have Perspective.
I was more trying to point to the bold and big leters saying use what ever you want xD
But yeah no need to support IE xd
heh i never knew, seems google uses the hsl bar. Maybe ive used it before than after just never noticed
And here I was thinking Google was paving the way of the future 
I’m impressed you spelt ‘colour’ right though. I’m probably saying that on the wrong forum though… haha
english is my third language. I also have (a little) dyslexia, and color is spelt like that in either us or uk idk xD i never really cared about spelling, i make tons of typos. heck i need to reread my own name 3 times just to be sure i wrote it right xD
‘Color’ is US, ‘Colour’ is everywhere else. I’m from everywhere else!
Ahhh welh color is shorter xD im from everywhere else too tho, i should have learned ‘uk’ english in school tho, but i never scored good on spelling tests so who knows xD
US perfected English. 
welh not really… there is Soccer xD
I was today years old when I learned there are different spellings for ‘Color’. 
I take “Soccer” to be the gold standard for the perfection of English.
Learn something new every day…doesn’t look like the US can even take credit (or blame!?) for “Soccer”: What's the Origin of the American Word 'Soccer'? Blame England | Time 
I moved this…valuable discussion to a new topic 
Oh, I find combination of Red, Green, and Blue to be perfectly intuitive and predictable and unambiguously relatable to real colors. Hue, Saturation, and Value: not so much.
Hue, in particular, has an entirely arbitrary basis–why was red assigned to 0° with positive rotation toward green? What physical basis is there for such color favoritism? I prefer green over red, so HSL is fundamentally flawed until everyone agrees to place green at 0°.
Just a theory. It looks like it goes 0° = Red, 120° = Green, 240° = Blue
That also follows the "Standard" of RGB in Hex colors... Correlation?
