The hsl() function define colors using the Hue-saturation-lightness model (HSL). HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness – and represents a cylindrical-coordinate representation of colors.
Example :
#p1 {background-color:hsl(120,100%,50%);} /* green */
#p2 {background-color:hsl(120,100%,75%);} /* light green */
#p3 {background-color:hsl(120,100%,25%);} /* dark green */
#p4 {background-color:hsl(120,60%,70%);} /* pastel green */
