Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.8471
G = 0.7490
B = 0.8471
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.8471
min = 0.7490
Δ = max − min = 0.0980

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.7980 = 79.80%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.2427 = 24.27%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.7490 − 0.8471) / 0.0980) mod 6) = 300.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(300.00 24.27% 79.80%)
```
