Unlock HSL Colors from RGB

Easily convert your RGB color values into the versatile HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) format with this efficient JavaScript function. HSL is often preferred for color manipulation and adjustments due to its intuitive representation of color properties.

💡 Why HSL Conversion?

• Intuitive Color Adjustments: Easily modify hue, saturation, or lightness independently.
• Color Harmony: Simplifies creating complementary, analogous, or triadic color schemes.
• Flexible Color Spaces: Work seamlessly between RGB and HSL color models.

How It Works

This function intelligently detects whether the input is an array [r, g, b], an object {r, g, b}, or a string in various formats ("rgb(r, g, b)", "(r, g, b)", or "r, g, b"). It then processes these numerical values, ensuring they fall within the standard RGB range (0-255) by clamping and rounding. Finally, it calculates and returns the corresponding HSL color as a convenient object { h, s, l }.

Example Usage:

// Using an array input
const hslFromArr = rgbToHsl([255, 100, 50]);
console.log(hslFromArr); // Output: { h: 15.88..., s: 1, l: 0.598... }

// Using an object input
const hslFromObj = rgbToHsl({ r: 150, g: 150, b: 150 });
console.log(hslFromObj); // Output: { h: 0, s: 0, l: 0.588... }

// Using 'rgb()' string format
const hslFromRgbString = rgbToHsl("rgb(0, 0, 255)");
console.log(hslFromRgbString); // Output: { h: 240, s: 1, l: 0.5 }

// Using '( )' string format
const hslFromParenString = rgbToHsl("255, 165, 0");
console.log(hslFromParenString); // Output: { h: 38.82..., s: 1, l: 0.5 }
