HSL to Oklch Converter - Color Space Converter

HSL color space introduction

Also known as the HSL color space.There are 3 channels in total, hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.lightness,range from 0 to 100.
Origin: HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It provides an intuitive way to describe colors, aligning closely with how we typically discuss color properties such as hue, saturation, and lightness.
Primary Name: HSL, which includes three color channels: H (Hue), S (Saturation), and L (Lightness).
It's usually represented as a triplet, for instance: hsl(120, 100%, 50%) indicates a pure green color with 100% saturation and 50% lightness.
Usage: HSL is used in computer graphics, image editing, and style design, especially in scenarios where there's a need for intuitive color property adjustments. In CSS, HSL is also used as one of the methods to define colors.
Additionally, it's worth noting that HSL has clear conversion formulas with RGB. While RGB is a commonly used color model in modern display technology, adjusting colors directly in RGB may not be as intuitive as in the HSL space. HSL is similar to HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), but they differ slightly in how they describe color brightness or luminance.

Oklch color space introduction

Also known as the Oklch color space.There are 3 channels in total,Lightness,range from 0 to 1.Chroma,range from 0 to 0.4.Hue,range from 0 to 360.
The OKLCH color space is derived from the OKLab color space, providing a cylindrical representation similar to LCH, but based on the more perceptually uniform OKLab color model.
OKLCH color space.
In the OKLCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L), Chroma (C), and Hue angle (H).
OKLCH is commonly used for tasks requiring a perceptually linear color space, such as color grading and graphic design.
OKLCH color space is suitable for advanced color editing and design tasks due to its perceptual uniformity.
