HSL and HSV

Portion used

Only the main part of the color picker interfaces is compared. Similar screenshots litter the web and these interfaces have been copied endlessly: their use in Wikipedia in no way threatens their creators commercially.

Low resolution?

This image will be shown at a low resolution in the article.

Purpose of use

To demonstrate the variety of HSL and HSV color choosers in use in the early 1990s, and show how they have remained unchanged in the intervening 15-20 years.

Replaceable?

These are historically relevant screenshots: any open source software with similar interfaces has essentially copied these. In particular, the GIMP’s color pickers are direct copies of Painter’s and Photoshop’s.
