HSL and HSV are the two most common cylindrical-coordinate representations of points in the RGB color model, rearranging the geometry of RGB in an attempt to be more intuitive and perceptually relevant than its ordinary cube, or cartesian, representation. Developed in the 1970s for computer graphics applications, HSL and HSV are used today in color pickers and image-editing software, and less commonly in image analysis and computer vision.
