Step-by-step math
Every number below is computed from the input, nothing is looked up.
1. RGB ÷ 255
R = 0.8627 G = 0.0784 B = 0.2353
2. max, min, Δ
max = 0.8627 min = 0.0784 Δ = max − min = 0.7843
3. L
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.4706 = 47.06%
4. S
S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.8333 = 83.33%
5. H
max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.0784 − 0.2353) / 0.7843) mod 6) = 348.00°
6. HSL
hsl(348.00 83.33% 47.06%)
