Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.6039
G = 0.9020
B = 0.0000
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9020
min = 0.0000
Δ = max − min = 0.9020

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.4510 = 45.10%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 1.0000 = 100.00%

5. H

max is G → H = 60° × ((B − R) / Δ + 2) = 60° × ((0.0000 − 0.6039) / 0.9020 + 2) = 79.83°

6. HSL
```
hsl(79.83 100.00% 45.10%)
```
