HSL controls let you adjust colors by hue, saturation and luminance. They are useful when one color is wrong but global saturation would harm everything else.
A practical way to approach it
Hue changes the color
A small green hue change can make yellowish foliage look less fluorescent. Push it too far and leaves can turn unnatural cyan.
Saturation changes intensity
Lower a distracting blue jacket without making skin and the entire background gray.
Luminance changes brightness
Lighten an orange skin range gently instead of raising exposure for the full photograph.
One limitation to remember
Similar colors overlap. A wall and a shirt may both change when they occupy the same HSL range.
