Color style comparison

If you open these two sites,You will find that the colors they offer are somewhat similar,But it doesn't look the same.So I downloaded them,在 RGB 颜色空间和 HLS color space to display.

• The first is Chinese color,It's almost all over RGB 空间,在色调（HUE）方向上,It basically presents a three-segment distribution;
