As a colorblind dev, I've been reliant upon hex codes for 20ish years to know what color I'm looking at (by balancing RGB).

However I've always had a hard time creating color palettes and shades. I recently gave HSL a shot and really enjoyed it. Memorizing the Hue values isn't hard (it's easier than deciphering a three part hex code). Saturation and Lightness are just percentages.
