hsl240

Hsl240 is a label used in design and development contexts to denote a color corresponding to a hue of 240 degrees on the HSL color wheel. In the HSL color model, hue defines the color type, while saturation controls intensity and lightness controls brightness. Hue 240° is commonly associated with blue. The term hsl240 is not a standardized CSS keyword; rather, it is an informal shorthand or token used in palettes, design systems, or documentation to refer to a specific blue variant.

In practice, the color represented by hsl240 commonly corresponds to hsl(240, 100%, 50%) in CSS, the classic vivid blue. However, the exact saturation and lightness may vary by project, so hsl240 should be treated as a label that can map to different HSL triplets depending on context. Some design systems adopt tokens such as hsl240 to allow quick color interchange; others may evolve to include multiple shades (for example, hsl240-60 or hsl240-40) corresponding to different lightness levels.

Usage: In CSS, a color can be assigned via hsl(240, 100%, 50%). In design tokens, a name like hsl240 can be bound to a specific HSL value and referenced via variables, such as --color-blue-240: hsl(240, 100%, 50%).
