About HSL and XYZ D65

HSL describes hue in degrees, saturation and lightness in percent. It is easy to read, but its lightness is not perceptually even: yellow at 50% looks much lighter than blue at 50%.

CIE XYZ is the reference space every other space is defined from. Converters use it as the common ground between formats.

How the conversion works

We read the HSL value, convert it to CIE XYZ with the matrices from the CSS Color 4 specification and then into XYZ D65. Values outside the target gamut are mapped by the CSS Color 4 algorithm, which keeps lightness and hue and reduces chroma.
