/**
 *  The HSLColor class provides methods to manipulate HSL (Hue, Saturation
 *  Luminance) values to create a corresponding Color object using the RGB
 *  ColorSpace.
 *
 *  The HUE is the color, the Saturation is the purity of the color (with
 *  respect to grey) and Luminance is the brightness of the color (with respect
 *  to black and white)
 *
 *  The Hue is specified as an angel between 0 - 360 degrees where red is 0,
 *  green is 120 and blue is 240. In between you have the colors of the rainbow.
 *  Saturation is specified as a percentage between 0 - 100 where 100 is fully
 *  saturated and 0 approaches gray. Luminance is specified as a percentage
 *  between 0 - 100 where 0 is black and 100 is white.
 *
 *  In particular the HSL color space makes it easier change the Tone or Shade
 *  of a color by adjusting the luminance value.
