Trying to map the correct human lightness names to hsl-lightness values
In order to set the correct lightness names, colour is set to 120 (green), and saturation to 100%. So hsl(120,100%,15%) might result in something like A rather saturated, very dark green
. I guess this is a good setting for analyzing lightness, if you know a better setting, let me know.
In this next table you'll see the value of the lightness, and the human name behind it. If you know a better layout for such a table, please let me know.
We're looking for the correct names here and for the correct boundaries: does almost black really end at 9? If you know of a scientific approach, please let me know.
