HSL to RGB color conversion
I am looking for an algorithm to convert between HSL color to RGB.
It seems to me that HSL is not very widely used so I am not having much luck searching for a converter.

Garry Tan posted a JavaScript solution on his blog (which he attributes to a now defunct mjijackson.com, but is archived here and the original author has a gist - thanks to user2441511).
The code is re-posted below (updated for post-ES5 conventions):
HSL to RGB:
const { abs, min, max, round } = Math;
/**
* Converts an HSL color value to RGB. Conversion formula
* adapted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_color_space.
* Assumes h, s, and l are contained in the set [0, 1] and
* returns r, g, and b in the set [0, 255].
*
* @param {number} h The hue
* @param {number} s The saturation
* @param {number} l The lightness
* @return {Array} The RGB representation
*/
function hslToRgb(h, s, l) {
let r, g, b;
if (s === 0) {
r = g = b = l; // achromatic
} else {
const q = l < 0.5 ? l * (1 + s) : l + s - l * s;
const p = 2 * l - q;
r = hueToRgb(p, q, h + 1/3);
g = hueToRgb(p, q, h);
b = hueToRgb(p, q, h - 1/3);
}
return [round(r * 255), round(g * 255), round(b * 255)];
}
function hueToRgb(p, q, t) {
if (t < 0) t += 1;
if (t > 1) t -= 1;
if (t < 1/6) return p + (q - p) * 6 * t;
if (t < 1/2) return q;
if (t < 2/3) return p + (q - p) * (2/3 - t) * 6;
return p;
}
RGB to HSL:

I modified @moshen's answer to use numpy vectorization in python. Ends up a couple hundred times faster than two for loops over the image with colorsys.hsl_to_rgb.
import time
def hue_to_rgb(p, q, t):
t = t % 1.0
condlist = [t < 1/6, t < 1/2, t < 2/3]
choicelist = [p + (q - p) * 6 * t, q, p + (q - p) * (2/3 - t) * 6]
return np.select(condlist, choicelist, p)
def fast_hls_to_rgb(hls):
h = hls[..., 0]
l = hls[..., 1]
s = hls[..., 2]
q = np.where(l < 0.5, l * (1 + s), l + s - l * s)
p = 2 * l - q
return np.stack((hue_to_rgb(p, q, h + 1/3), hue_to_rgb(p, q, h), hue_to_rgb(p, q, h - 1/3)), axis=-1)
hls = np.empty((image_shape, 3))
hls[..., 0] = hue
hls[..., 1] = lightness
hls[..., 2] = saturation
# compute the rgb using colorssys and report the time required
start = time.perf_counter()
rgb = np.empty((*image_shape, 3))
for i in range(image_shape[0]):
for j in range(image_shape[1]):
rgb[i, j] = colorsys.hls_to_rgb(hls[i, j, 0], hls[i, j, 1], hls[i, j, 2])
end = time.perf_counter()
print(end - start)
# compute the rgb using fast_hsl_to_rgb and report the time required
start = time.perf_counter()
rgb = fast_hls_to_rgb(hls)
end = time.perf_counter()
print(end - start)
plt.figure(figsize=(18, 18))
plt.imshow(rgb)
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()
which gives the output (for an 815 x 1024 size image):
1.1594520434737206 # time taken to convert with for loops
0.06863640993833542 # time taken to convert with np vectorized

#Php Implementation of Chris's C# Code
Also from here, which explains the math of it very well.
This is basically a bunch of functions to convert to and from HSL (Hue Saturation Lightness)
Tested and working on PHP 5.6.15
TL;DR: The full code can be found here on Pastebin.
##Hex to HSL
Input: Hex color in format: [#]0f4 or [#]00ff44 (pound sign optional)
Output: HSL in Degrees, Percent, Percent
/**
* Input: hex color
* Output: hsl(in ranges from 0-1)
*
* Takes the hex, converts it to RGB, and sends
* it to RGBToHsl. Returns the output.
*
*/
function hexToHsl($hex) {
$r = "";
$g = "";
$b = "";
$hex = str_replace('#', '', $hex);
if (strlen($hex) == 3) {
$r = substr($hex, 0, 1);
$r = $r . $r;
$g = substr($hex, 1, 1);
$g = $g . $g;
$b = substr($hex, 2, 1);
$b = $b . $b;
} elseif (strlen($hex) == 6) {
$r = substr($hex, 0, 2);
$g = substr($hex, 2, 2);
$b = substr($hex, 4, 2);
} else {
return false;
}
$r = hexdec($r);
$g = hexdec($g);
$b = hexdec($b);
$hsl = rgbToHsl($r,$g,$b);
return $hsl;
}
RGB to HSL
Input: RGB in range 0-255 Output: HSL in Degrees, Percent, Percent.

##HSL (Degrees, Percent, Percent format) to HSL in range 0-1
This function converts HSL in the format Degrees, Percent, Percent, to the ranges 0-1 for easier computing.
/**

* Output: An array containing HSL in ranges 0-1
*
* Divides $h by 60, and $s and $l by 100.

//calculate the RGB value. Note that for the Red
//value, we add a third (120 degrees), to adjust
//the hue to the correct section of the circle for
//red. Simalarly, for blue, we subtract 1/3.

###Hue to RGB
This function is called by hslToRgb to convert the hue into the separate RGB values.
/**
* Converts an HSL hue to it's RGB value.
*
* Input: $temp1 and $temp2 - temperary vars based on
* whether the lumanence is less than 0.5, and

return $temp2;
} elseif ((3 * $hue) < 2 ) {
return ($temp1 + ($temp2 - $temp1) * ((2 / 3) - $hue) * 6);
}
return $temp1;

##HSL to Hex
Input: HSL in format Degrees, Percent, Percent
Output: Hex in format 00ff22 (no pound sign).
Converts to RGB, then converts separately to hex.
/**

Since colorsys isn't supported in (or currently ported to) circuitpython, if you're trying to handle this conversion on Raspberry Pi, the following works (subject to the rounding limitation to accuracy mentioned elsewhere in this thread):
def hslToRgb (h, s, l): #in range 0-1 for h,s,l
if s == 0:
r = g = b = l #achromatic
else:
def hue2rgb(p, q, t):
if t < 0: t += 1
if t > 1: t -= 1
if t < 1.0 / 6.0: return p + (q - p) * 6 * t
if t < 1.0 / 2.0: return q
if t < 2.0 / 3.0: return p + (q - p) * ((2.0 / 3.0) - t) * 6
return p
if l < 0.5:
q = l * (1 + s)
else:
q = l + s - l * s
p = 2 * l - q
r = hue2rgb(p, q, h + 1.0/3.0)
g = hue2rgb(p, q, h)
b = hue2rgb(p, q, h - 1.0/3.0)
return [round(r * 255), round(g * 255), round(b * 255)]

HSL to RGB in Typescript
All the options above didn't work on my code in TS.
I tweak one of those and now it works as a charm:
type HslType = { h: number; s: number; l: number }
const hslToRgb = (hsl: HslType): RgbType => {
let { h, s, l } = hsl
// IMPORTANT if s and l between 0,1 remove the next two lines:
s /= 100
l /= 100
const k = (n: number) => (n + h / 30) % 12
const a = s * Math.min(l, 1 - l)
const f = (n: number) =>
l - a * Math.max(-1, Math.min(k(n) - 3, Math.min(9 - k(n), 1)))
return {
r: Math.round(255 * f(0)),
g: Math.round(255 * f(8)),
b: Math.round(255 * f(4)),
}
}

PHP - shortest but precise
Here I rewrite my JS answer (math details are there) to PHP - you can run it here
function hsl2rgb($h,$s,$l)
{
$a = $s * min($l, 1-$l);
$k = function($n,$h) { return ($n+$h/30)%12;};
$f = function($n) use ($h,$s,$l,$a,$k) {
return $l - $a * max( min($k($n,$h)-3, 9-$k($n,$h), 1),-1);
};
return [ $f(0), $f(8), $f(4) ];

C++ implementation with probably better performance than @Mohsen code. It uses a [0-6] range for the hue, avoiding the division and multiplication by 6. S and L range is [0,1]
void fromRGBtoHSL(float rgb[], float hsl[])
{
const float maxRGB = max(rgb[0], max(rgb[1], rgb[2]));
const float minRGB = min(rgb[0], min(rgb[1], rgb[2]));
const float delta2 = maxRGB + minRGB;
hsl[2] = delta2 * 0.5f;
const float delta = maxRGB - minRGB;
if (delta < FLT_MIN)
hsl[0] = hsl[1] = 0.0f;
else
{
hsl[1] = delta / (hsl[2] > 0.5f ? 2.0f - delta2 : delta2);
if (rgb[0] >= maxRGB)

hsl[0] += 6.0f;
}
else if (rgb[1] >= maxRGB)
hsl[0] = 2.0f + (rgb[2] - rgb[0]) / delta;
else

An hsl|a color value, set in javascript, will be instantly converted to rgb|a All you need to do then is access the computed style value
document.body.style.color = 'hsla(44, 100%, 50%, 0.8)';
console.log(window.getComputedStyle(document.body).color);
// displays: rgba(255, 187, 0, 0.8)
Technically, I guess, this isn't even any lines of code - it's just done automatically. So, depending on your environment, you might be able to get away with just this. Not that there aren't a lot of very thoughtful responses here. I don't know what your goal is.
Now, what if you want to convert from rbg|a to hsl|a?

Here's a fast, super-simple, branchless version in GLSL:
vec3 hsl2rgb( vec3 c ) {
vec3 rgb = clamp(abs(mod(c.x*6.0 + vec3(0.0, 4.0, 2.0), 6.0)-3.0)-1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
return c.z + c.y * (rgb-0.5)*(1.0-abs(2.0*c.z-1.0));
}
Doesn't get much shorter than that ~

I got this from Brandon Mathis' HSL Picker source code.
It was originally written in CoffeeScript. I converted it to JavaScript using an online converter, and took out the mechanism to verify the user input was a valid RGB value. This answer worked for my usecase, as the most up-voted answer on this post I found to not produce a valid HSL value.
Note that it returns an hsla value, with a representing opacity/transparency. 0 is completely transparent, and 1 fully opaque.
function rgbToHsl(rgb) {
var a, add, b, diff, g, h, hue, l, lum, max, min, r, s, sat;
r = parseFloat(rgb[0]) / 255;
g = parseFloat(rgb[1]) / 255;
b = parseFloat(rgb[2]) / 255;
max = Math.max(r, g, b);
min = Math.min(r, g, b);
diff = max - min;
add = max + min;
hue = min === max ? 0 : r === max ? ((60 * (g - b) / diff) + 360) % 360 : g === max ? (60 * (b - r) / diff) + 120 : (60 * (r - g) / diff) + 240;
lum = 0.5 * add;
sat = lum === 0 ? 0 : lum === 1 ? 1 : lum <= 0.5 ? diff / add : diff / (2 - add);
h = Math.round(hue);
s = Math.round(sat * 100);
l = Math.round(lum * 100);
a = parseFloat(rgb[3]) || 1;
return [h, s, l, a];
}

For all who said that Garry Tan solution converting incorrect from RGB to HSL and back. It because he left out fraction part of number in his code. I corrected his code (javascript). Sorry for link on russian languadge, but on english absent - HSL-wiki
function toHsl(r, g, b)

g /= 255.0;
b /= 255.0;
var max = Math.max(r, g, b);
var min = Math.min(r, g, b);
var h, s, l = (max + min) / 2.0;
if(max == min)
{
h = s = 0;
}
else
{
var d = max - min;
s = (l > 0.5 ? d / (2.0 - max - min) : d / (max + min));
if(max == r && g >= b)
{
h = 1.0472 * (g - b) / d ;
}
else if(max == r && g < b)
{
h = 1.0472 * (g - b) / d + 6.2832;
}
else if(max == g)
{
h = 1.0472 * (b - r) / d + 2.0944;
}
else if(max == b)
{
h = 1.0472 * (r - g) / d + 4.1888;
}
}
return {
str: 'hsl(' + parseInt(h / 6.2832 * 360.0 + 0.5) + ',' + parseInt(s * 100.0 + 0.5) + '%,' + parseInt(l * 100.0 + 0.5) + '%)',
obj: { h: parseInt(h / 6.2832 * 360.0 + 0.5), s: parseInt(s * 100.0 + 0.5), l: parseInt(l * 100.0 + 0.5) }

I needed a really light weight one, Its not 100%, but it gets close enough for some usecases.
float3 Hue(float h, float s, float l)
{
float r = max(cos(h * 2 * UNITY_PI) * 0.5 + 0.5, 0);
float g = max(cos((h + 0.666666) * 2 * UNITY_PI) * 0.5 + 0.5, 0);
float b = max(cos((h + 0.333333) * 2 * UNITY_PI) * 0.5 + 0.5, 0);
float gray = 0.2989 * r + 0.5870 * g + 0.1140 * b;
return lerp(gray, float3(r, g, b), s) * smoothstep(0, 0.5, l) + 1 * smoothstep(0.5, 1, l);

function rgbToHsl(r, g, b) {

This is how I do it which is easy to remember is to think of RGB as three spokes on a wheel, 120 degrees apart.
H = hue (0-360)
S = saturation (0-1)
L = luminance (0-1)
R1 = SIN( H ) * L
G1 = SIN( H + 120 ) * L
B1 = SIN( H + 240 ) * L
The tricky part is saturation, which is to a scale down to the average of those three.
AVERAGE = (R1 + G1 + B1) / 3
R2 = ((R1 - AVERAGE) * S) + AVERAGE
G2 = ((G1 - AVERAGE) * S) + AVERAGE
B2 = ((B1 - AVERAGE) * S) + AVERAGE
RED = R2 * 255
GREEN = G2 * 255
BLUE = B2 * 255

var min = Math.min(r, g, b),
max = Math.max(r, g, b),
delta = max - min,
h = 0, s = 0, v = max;
if (min != max)
{
s = (delta / max);
switch (max)
{
case r: h = (g - b) / delta + (g < b ? 6 : 0); break;
case g: h = (b - r) / delta + 2; break;
case b: h = (r - g) / delta + 4; break;
}
h /= 6;
}
return [h, s, v];
}
function hsvToRgb(h, s, v)
{
var step = h / (1 / 6),
pos = step - Math.floor(step), // the hue position within the current step
m = (Math.floor(step) % 2) ? (1 - pos) * v : pos * v, // mix color value adjusted to the brightness(v)
max = 1 * v,
min = (1 - s) * v,
med = m + ((1 - s) * (v - m)),
r, g, b;
switch (Math.floor(step))
{
case 0:
r = max;
g = med;
b = min;
break;
case 1:
r = med;
g = max;
b = min;
break;
case 2:

If you're looking for something that definitely conforms with the CSS semantics for HSL and RGB, you could use the algorithm specified in the CSS 3 specification, which reads:
HOW TO RETURN hsl.to.rgb(h, s, l):
SELECT:
l<=0.5: PUT l*(s+1) IN m2
ELSE: PUT l+s-l*s IN m2
PUT l*2-m2 IN m1
PUT hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h+1/3) IN r
PUT hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h ) IN g
PUT hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h-1/3) IN b
RETURN (r, g, b)
HOW TO RETURN hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h):
IF h<0: PUT h+1 IN h
IF h>1: PUT h-1 IN h
IF h*6<1: RETURN m1+(m2-m1)*h*6
IF h*2<1: RETURN m2
IF h*3<2: RETURN m1+(m2-m1)*(2/3-h)*6
RETURN m1
I believe this is the source for some of the other answers here.
