When you use similar colors - different shades of blue, for example, - you will notice that they share the same hue and saturation. HSLA stands for Hue Saturation Lightness Alpha, the four main components necessary to define a color. How do you usually define colors in CSS? With HEX? RGBA? Or do you use HSLA?
