HEX to HSL

What is HEX to HSL?

Converting from HEX to HSL involves transforming a color value from hexadecimal format to the corresponding HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) values. In the hexadecimal color system, colors are represented using a combination of six characters (3 pairs) that represent the intensity of the red, green, and blue channels in a color. Each pair represents the intensity of each color channel, with values ranging from 00 to FF (in decimal, 0 to 255). HSL, on the other hand, represents colors based on their Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. Hue represents the color itself, expressed as an angle on the color wheel, with red at 0 degrees, green at 120 degrees, and blue at 240 degrees. Saturation indicates the purity of the color, with 0% being grayscale and 100% being fully saturated. Lightness represents the brightness of the color, with 0% being black, 50% being the full color, and 100% being white. Converting from HEX to HSL typically involves first converting the HEX values to their respective RGB values and then transforming these RGB values to HSL values. This conversion is commonly used in various applications, including graphic design, image processing, and color analysis, to work with different color models based on their unique characteristics.
