HSL Color Chart

Pick the right color with these HSL color charts. Displays the hue, saturation, and lightness values.

The following charts use the HSL method to define the colors. These can be used on any CSS property that accepts a color value.

There are four HSL color charts below. On each chart, each row increases the hue by 5. Each chart then uses different lightness or saturation levels.

Decreasing Saturation

In this first chart, the lightness remains constant at 50%, but each column decreases the saturation.

Decreasing Lightness

In this second chart, each column uses a different lightness value (but saturation remains at 100%).

Reducing Saturation with Increased Lightness

This chart is the same as the first chart (where we adjust the saturation, while keeping the lightness at 50%), but in this one we increase the lightness to 75%.

Decreasing Lightness with Reduced Saturation
