The hsl() function is an inbuilt function in CSS that is used to define the colors using the Hue-saturation-lightness model (HSL).

Syntax: 

hsl( hue, saturation, lightness )

Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below: 

  • hue: This parameter is used to define the degree on the color wheel. Its value lies between 0 to 360 where 0 or 360 represents red, 120 represents green and 240 represents blue.
  • saturation: This parameter is used to define saturation where 0% represents a shade of gray and 100% represents a full color.
  • lightness: This parameter is used to define lightness where 0% represents black, 50% represents normal, and 100% represents white.

Example: The below program illustrates the hsl() function in CSS:
