HUSL – A human-friendly alternative to HSL

I think the benefits of HUSL are kind of explained backwards, with technical details first and practical applications later. But once I saw their comparison of contrast (60% brightness random colors HUSL vs HSL) and the demo, it's pretty clear that HSL is way more difficult to depend on for random colors due to wildly varying contrasts.

I'd be interested in seeing a version of the demo with HSL, for comparison.

I see. I guess I didn't really see much of a use case for random colors with constant variation of contrast. The demo does a pretty good job of demonstrating a compelling use case though.
