Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.2824
G = 0.2392
B = 0.5451
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.5451
min = 0.2392
Δ = max − min = 0.3059

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.3922 = 39.22%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.3900 = 39.00%

5. H

max is B → H = 60° × ((R − G) / Δ + 4) = 60° × ((0.2824 − 0.2392) / 0.3059 + 4) = 248.46°

6. HSL
```
hsl(248.46 39.00% 39.22%)
```
