Could we add a flag like -hsl or -to 'hsl or mode=hsl that allows this tool to convert from rgb/hex to hsl?

This is, as of today, the most highly sought-after feature for this repo. I hope the maintainers take a look at this. 😉

This is almost the tool I've been looking for. A few things would make it far more functional for me (and might be more old school geek modular friendly).

1. I'd love to be able to run the command non-interactively, thusly: convert-color ff6600 hsl. Not only simpler but allows me to chain/pipe it with other commands.
2. I only use hsl and only use the format hsl(### ##% ##% / #.#), e.g. hsl(200 50% 40% / 0.7) so it would be nice to be able to adjust the output format.
3. I don't need a verbose message upon success, just the value returned, though auto-copying it to the clipboard is a nice touch.

It tells me it copied to clipboard, but that is false - I guess because I am on wayland.

Also, how about basing it on https://github.com/Qix-/color-convert which supports more formats?

The color conversion stuff would likely be useful as a standalone package for use in other CLI tools or web apps. Might be a good idea to break that stuff out into it's own package. It's already in a file by itself anyway... this would be a good candidate for Hacktoberfest.
