HSL naar Pantone

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It's a color model that describes colors in a way that's often more intuitive for humans than RGB or HEX. Hue represents the color itself (0-360° on a color wheel), Saturation is the intensity or purity of the color (0-100%), and Lightness is how light or dark the color is (0-100%). This model makes it easier to create color variations and harmonious palettes.

HSL is ideal for digital design and UI development due to its intuitive controls, but when moving to physical production (printing, textiles, etc.), Pantone's standardized color system ensures consistent results. Converting HSL to Pantone helps maintain color integrity between digital design and physical output, preventing costly mismatches in production.

De tool converteert eerst HSL-waarden naar RGB en vervolgens naar de LAB-kleurruimte, die is ontworpen om de menselijke kleurwaarneming te benaderen. De tool berekent de kleurafstand tussen uw invoerkleur en elke Pantone-kleur in de geselecteerde bibliotheek met behulp van de CIEDE2000-formule, die rekening houdt met hoe mensen kleurverschillen waarnemen. De dichtstbijzijnde overeenkomsten worden weergegeven met betrouwbaarheidsscores op basis van deze berekeningen.

HSL can represent colors that fall outside the reproducible range (gamut) of specific Pantone libraries. Highly saturated colors or extreme lightness values may not have direct Pantone equivalents, resulting in poorer matches. In these cases, consider adjusting your HSL values slightly to find a better match, or consult with your production team to identify acceptable alternatives.
