Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. RGB ÷ 255

    R = 0.8667
    G = 0.8392
    B = 0.9961
  2. 2. max, min, Δ

    max = 0.9961
    min = 0.8392
    Δ = max − min = 0.1569
  3. 3. L

    L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.9176 = 91.76%
  4. 4. S

    S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.9524 = 95.24%
  5. 5. H

    max is B → H = 60° × ((R − G) / Δ + 4) = 60° × ((0.8667 − 0.8392) / 0.1569 + 4) = 250.50°
  6. 6. HSL

    hsl(250.50 95.24% 91.76%)
