While I don’t think an |#RGB|‐ or |#RRGGBB|‐like syntax is a good idea for HSL (as Brian apparently suggested), I can see a good reason from a “design standpoint” to abbreviate the HSL syntax further. As someone who uses all‐gray or nearly all‐gray palettes, I find it to be somewhat tedious and messy to have to use |hsl(<H>, <S>, <L>)| when the first two arguments are completely irrelevant. Something like |hsl(<L>)| or |l(<L>)| where the hue and saturation are assumed to be zero (and which I’ve previously proposed as |rgb(<RGB>)| for the same reasons) would make this easier.
