HSLuv
Human-friendly HSL alternative with perceptually uniform lightness.
About
Here you can see CIELUV , a color space designed for perceptual uniformity based on human experiments. When accessed by polar coordinates, it becomes functionally similar to HSL with a single problem: its chroma component doesn't fit into a specific range. HSLuv extends CIELUV with a new saturation component that allows you to span all the available chroma as a neat percentage.
