I'm studying the HSL color space, while developing and image segmentation algorithm which works similar to how human brain segments different coloured image segments. And when i visualize the HSL color space, in a certain range of Lightness value their is appearance of some shape what does it represents?

My guess is that the shapes appear because you are unwrapping a cone, since the original HSV space is in a cone shape.if you then unfold that to a flat circle or a rectangle, where will be areas that are undefined, hence the grey areas that seem like shapes.
