Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.5961
G = 0.9843
B = 0.5961
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9843
min = 0.5961
Δ = max − min = 0.3882

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.7902 = 79.02%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.9252 = 92.52%

5. H

max is G → H = 60° × ((B − R) / Δ + 2) = 60° × ((0.5961 − 0.5961) / 0.3882 + 2) = 120.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(120.00 92.52% 79.02%)
```
