HSB

→ HSB

The colour mode built from hue, saturation and brightness.

seeloSaMmala(HSB, 360, 100, 100)

In HSB the first number is a place on the colour wheel (0–360), the second is how strong the colour is (0–100), and the third is how bright (0–100).

It is the best mode for matching colours: leave saturation and phatsimo alone, change only the hue, and you get a wheel of colours all of the same weight. In RGB that takes three numbers changed at once.

As with RGB, the name is left untranslated: it is one label the world over.
