... Because it makes much more sense for users. Compare for example, trying to specify a color such as "pink" using RGB vs HLS. With HLS, it is easy to think of pink as a somewhat lighened and desaturated red. Now try describing the same color using RBG: how much blue and green must be added, and red reduced to obtain pink? >-----Original Message----- >From: Chris Lilley [SMTP:Chris.Lilley@sophia.inria.fr] >Sent: Monday, December 01, 1997 10:40 AM >To: Hersh, Harry; 'www-style@w3.org' >Subject: Re: Cascading Style Sheets > >On Dec 1, 8:40am, Hersh, Harry wrote: > >> Please include HLS color specification, in addition to RGB. > >Because ... > > > >-- >Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] >Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium >http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C >chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 >+33 (0)4 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
