Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.0863
G = 0.6392
B = 0.2902
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.6392
min = 0.0863
Δ = max − min = 0.5529

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.3627 = 36.27%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.7622 = 76.22%

5. H

max is G → H = 60° × ((B − R) / Δ + 2) = 60° × ((0.2902 − 0.0863) / 0.5529 + 2) = 142.13°

6. HSL
```
hsl(142.13 76.22% 36.27%)
```
