It is a three-dimensional color model, which is an improved version of the RGB model. In the HSV model, the top of the center axis is white, the bottom is black, and the remaining colors lie in between. Here, the hue is the angle, saturation is the distance from the center axis, and value is the distance from the bottom of the axis.
HSL is an acronym for hue, saturation, and lightness. The main difference...
