What i like about the HSL color model is that if i leave saturation and lightness fixed and only change the hue, i get a linear representation of colors from all over the spectrum. With saturation at 100% and lightness at 50% i get bright and vivid colors that are clean mixes of only two RGB colors each. I think that gives a more intuitive access to colors and also possibly interesting ways to automate the use of colors.

This patch converts HSL to RGB colors: hsl2rgb.zip

This is an implementation of the algorithm i found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9493060.

Enjoy!

Keywords: HSL. hue, saturation, lightness, HSB, hue, saturation, brightness, HSV, hue, saturation, value, RGB, red, green, blue, converter

Great. Definitively.

It seems like it is not compatible with data structure ?
Here is the system that I use for data structure colors right know:

It could be expanded to lightess and saturation I think.

@Il pleut i think you can use hsl with data structures if you combine this abstraction with some of this: https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/11085/how-to-convert-pd-s-color-numbers-for-data-structures-to-rgb

Seems logical. I'll try.
