HSL Color Picker - by Brandon Mathis HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminosity) allows us to describe meaningful relationships between colors.

Color Systems - RGB & CMYK RGB or CMYK? The color systems used by scientists and artists are entirely different. An artist will mix blue and yellow paint to get a shade of green; a scientist will mix green and red light to create yellow. The printed page in a magazine is yet another system. It's important to define the two different kinds of color that we see in the world as the first step in understanding color systems.
