Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.5176
G = 0.8000
B = 0.0863
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.8000
min = 0.0863
Δ = max − min = 0.7137

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.4431 = 44.31%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.8053 = 80.53%

5. H

max is G → H = 60° × ((B − R) / Δ + 2) = 60° × ((0.0863 − 0.5176) / 0.7137 + 2) = 83.74°

6. HSL
```
hsl(83.74 80.53% 44.31%)
```
