Step-by-step math

Every number below is computed from the input, nothing is looked up.

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.0627
G = 0.7255
B = 0.5059
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.7255
min = 0.0627
Δ = max − min = 0.6627

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.3941 = 39.41%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.8408 = 84.08%

5. H

max is G → H = 60° × ((B − R) / Δ + 2) = 60° × ((0.5059 − 0.0627) / 0.6627 + 2) = 160.12°

6. HSL
```
hsl(160.12 84.08% 39.41%)
```
