Hue Saturation Lightness Guessing Game

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness.

The lightness guessing game is good when you want to improve your sense of values in pictures. Just train with it over and over.

The other guessing games are for the saturation and hue side of the colors which might be useful too. At the end of the page you find a game which combines all 3 values.
