Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.7373
G = 0.5608
B = 0.5608
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.7373
min = 0.5608
Δ = max − min = 0.1765

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.6490 = 64.90%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.2514 = 25.14%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.5608 − 0.5608) / 0.1765) mod 6) = 0.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(0.00 25.14% 64.90%)
```
