Package Exports

husl

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (husl) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

What is HUSL?

HUSL is a human-friendly alternative to the HSL color space. HSL was designed back in the 70s to be computationally cheap. It is a clever geometric transformation of the RGB color space and it does not take into account the complexities of human color vision.

There have long existed color spaces designed for perceptual uniformity. One of these color spaces is CIELUV (and its cylindrically shaped brother CIE LCh_uv. Like HSL, it defines hue and lightness, but instead of saturation it defines chroma. The problem with its chroma component is that it doesn't fit into a specific range. This makes it very hard to define colors programmatically. HUSL is a modified version of the CIE LCh_uv color space with a new saturation component.

Testing

Run npm install and npm test. Try cake snapshot to generate a picture of samples from the entire gamut. These picutures are used for regression tests
