From channels to hue and lightness
RGB describes a color as red, green and blue light; HSL describes the same color the way people talk about it — which hue, how vivid, how light. rgb(255, 87, 51) becomes hsl(11, 100%, 60%): a fully-saturated, fairly light orange-red. Both are exact representations; nothing is lost converting between them.
Why convert to HSL in CSS
Programmatic color adjustments are natural in HSL: darken by lowering L, mute by lowering S, find a complementary color by rotating H 180°. Modern CSS custom properties often store H, S and L separately so components can derive hovers and borders from one base color.
