HUSL-LCH​

A normalized version of the LCH (Cylindrical CIELUV) system, but also called HuSL (Human-friendly HSL), made by Alexei Boronine, is a system that takes into consideration apparent brightness and saturation, instead of simply changing it mathematically. Good when you want to change the hue of a color without changing its apparent brightness!
