Figure 1. HPLuv color space in 3D
HPLuv is similar to HSLuv but takes as many colors as it can from CIELChuv without distorting the chroma. This ends up reducing the gamut to a subset of the sRGB gamut. In the end, only more pastel colors remain.

Inputs/Output
HPLuv is not currently supported in the CSS spec, the parsed input and string output formats use the
color() function format using the custom name --hpluv:
When manually creating a color via raw data or specifying a color space as a parameter in a function, the color space name is always used:
The string representation of the color object and the default string output use the
color(--hpluv h p l / a) form.
