    CSS HSL Colors


    ‹ Previous Next ›

    HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness.

    HSL Value
    In CSS, a color can be specified using hue,
    saturation, and lightness (HSL) in the form:

    hsl(hue, saturation, lightness)

    Hue is a degree on the color wheel from 0 to 360. 0


    is red, 120 is green, and 240 is blue.

    Saturation is a percentage value. 0% means a


    shade of gray, and 100% is the full color.

    Lightness is also a percentage. 0% is black, 50% is


    neither light or dark, 100% is white

    Experiment by mixing the HSL values below:

    hsl(0, 100%, 50%)

    HUE

    SATURATION

    100%

    LIGHTNESS

    50%

    Example

    hsl(0, 100%, 50%)

    hsl(240, 100%, 50%)

    hsl(147, 50%, 47%)

    hsl(300, 76%, 72%)

    hsl(39, 100%, 50%)

    hsl(248, 53%, 58%)

    Saturation
    Saturation can be described as the intensity of a
    color.

    100% is pure color, no shades of gray.

    50% is 50% gray, but you can still see the color.

    0% is completely gray; you can no longer see the


    color.

    Example

    hsl(0, 100%, 50%)

    hsl(0, 80%, 50%)

    hsl(0, 60%, 50%)

    hsl(0, 40%, 50%)

    hsl(0, 20%, 50%)

    hsl(0, 0%, 50%)

    Lightness
    The lightness of a color can be described as how
    much light you want to give the color, where 0%
    means no light (black), 50% means 50% light
    (neither dark nor light) and 100% means full
    lightness (white).

    Example

    hsl(0, 100%, 0%)

    hsl(0, 100%, 25%)

    hsl(0, 100%, 50%)

    hsl(0, 100%, 75%)

    hsl(0, 100%, 90%)

    hsl(0, 100%, 100%)

    Try it Yourself »

    Shades of Gray
    Shades of gray are often defined by setting the hue
    and saturation to 0, and adjust the lightness from
    0% to 100% to get darker/lighter shades:

    Example

    hsl(0, 0%, 0%)

    hsl(0, 0%, 24%)

    hsl(0, 0%, 47%)

    hsl(0, 0%, 71%)

    hsl(0, 0%, 94%)

    hsl(0, 0%, 100%)

    HSLA Value
    HSLA color values are an extension of HSL color
    values with an alpha channel - which specifies the
    opacity for a color.

    An HSLA color value is specified with:

    hsla(hue, saturation, lightness,


    alpha)

    The alpha parameter is a number between 0.0


    (fully transparent) and 1.0 (not transparent at all):

    Experiment by mixing the HSLA values below:

    hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 0.5)

    HUE

    SATURATION

    100%

    LIGHTNESS

    50%

    ALPHA

    0.5

    Example

    hsla(9, 100%, 64%, 0)

    hsla(9, 100%, 64%, 0.2)

    hsla(9, 100%, 64%, 0.4)

    hsla(9, 100%, 64%, 0.6)

    hsla(9, 100%, 64%, 0.8)

    hsla(9, 100%, 64%, 1)
