Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.1961
G = 0.8039
B = 0.1961
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.8039
min = 0.1961
Δ = max − min = 0.6078

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.5000 = 50.00%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.6078 = 60.78%

5. H

max is G → H = 60° × ((B − R) / Δ + 2) = 60° × ((0.1961 − 0.1961) / 0.6078 + 2) = 120.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(120.00 60.78% 50.00%)
```
