HSL is used, indirectly, in most windows applications.
If you run windows, bring up the Display window in the Control Panel. Try
choosing a custom colour, anywhere. The window which is presented has the hues
running left to right, the saturation running top to bottom, and the lightness
in a slider on the right.
Choosing HSL manually is ackward, but it's the easiest to grasp visually.
Imagine the same screen with red running left to right, green top to bottom, and
a seperate slider for blue. No one would ever find the colour they want!

CMYK is used in printing. Lab is gamut-free and is widely used in
scientific applications. HSB is used by many artists because it's more
natural (make this color warmer, no honey it's too dark, hush it's
screaming etc.) LUV (or YUV) is used in JPEG and MPEG compression.
These are the ones I can come up with off the top of my head.

Almost as useful as <sarcasm> and </sarcasm> when dealing with people
who's grasp of the concept you are unsure of... <grin>
Bye for now,

Oops, that should, of course, have been "whose".
Bye for now,
