lms to HSL Converter - Color Space Converter

lms color space introduction

Also known as the lms color space.There are 3 channels in total, long,range from 0 to 100.medium,range from 0 to 100.short,range from 0 to 100.
The LMS color space is based on the response of the human eye's cone cells to color, consisting of the responses from three different types of cone cells which are most responsive to long, medium, and short wavelengths of light respectively.
LMS stands for Long, Medium, and Short wavelengths.
The LMS color space typically uses three coordinates to express colors, corresponding directly to the responses of the cone cells. This space is often used to calculate transformations to other color spaces that are perceptually closer to human vision, such as from RGB.
The LMS color space is primarily used in the fields of biology and vision science, particularly for simulating and understanding human visual perception.
Since LMS is based on physiological characteristics, it is not commonly used for practical applications such as image processing or color printing but serves as a research and theoretical model.

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.
