Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.6706
G = 0.6275
B = 0.6118
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.6706
min = 0.6118
Δ = max − min = 0.0588

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.6412 = 64.12%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.0820 = 8.20%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.6275 − 0.6118) / 0.0588) mod 6) = 16.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(16.00 8.20% 64.12%)
```
