It's HSB (brightness?) in Photoshop, so a semantics thing. 

Thanks, this should be interesting.

I think you mean HSL, not HSB. But anyway, it doesn't matter. However the color was specified, the UA would convert it to HSL internally, regardless of whether it could parse HSL in the CSS.

 That would work, didn't think CSS could do  HSB?

 If you convert colors into Hue-Saturation-Lightness space, then
 lighter/darker would seem to be changes on the third axis, wouldn't
 they?
