wow you've discovered a lot about the RGB --> HSL calculations! To be honest I'd never looked at the HSL color system before this, and it's not as straightforward as the RGB or CMYK system. I'd like to see a pure HSL option with the styled maps, where the user can either specify the hue as: 1. RGB as it is done now with a #, or 2. as a pure hue from 0 to 360. That would avoid the need for translating from RGB to HSL for cases when the graphic designer already knows the hue they want to use? I'm no expert in graphic design but I can see that Photoshop makes it easy if you want to use HSL, so I'm not sure why RGB was chosen for hue in the maps API? I made a feature request for this: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2665 ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
