Fine-tune image colors with HSL sliders
Use the HSL and Color panels in the Develop module to adjust individual color ranges in your photo. For example, if
a red object looks too vivid and distracting, you can adjust it using the Saturation slider for Red. Note that all similar
reds in the photo will be affected.
The adjustments you make in the HSL and Color panels produce similar results, but the two panels organize the sliders
in different ways. To open a panel, click its name in the HSL/Color/Grayscale panel header.
The slides in these panels work on specific color ranges:

Adjust the color calibration for your camera
Lightroom uses two camera profiles for every camera model it supports to process raw images. The profiles are
produced by photographing a color target under different white-balanced lighting conditions. When you set a white
balance, Lightroom uses the profiles for your camera to extrapolate color information. These camera profiles are the
same ones developed for Adobe Camera Raw. They are not ICC color profiles.
