Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.7686
G = 0.7098
B = 0.9922
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9922
min = 0.7098
Δ = max − min = 0.2824

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.8510 = 85.10%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.9474 = 94.74%

5. H

max is B → H = 60° × ((R − G) / Δ + 4) = 60° × ((0.7686 − 0.7098) / 0.2824 + 4) = 252.50°

6. HSL
```
hsl(252.50 94.74% 85.10%)
```
