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°.
