Step-by-step math

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

1. 1. RGB ÷ 255

   R = 0.8980
   G = 0.9059
   B = 0.9216

2. 2. max, min, Δ

   max = 0.9216
   min = 0.8980
   Δ = max − min = 0.0235

3. 3. L

   L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.9098 = 90.98%

4. 4. S

   S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.1304 = 13.04%

5. 5. H

   max is B → H = 60° × ((R − G) / Δ + 4) = 60° × ((0.8980 − 0.9059) / 0.0235 + 4) = 220.00°

6. 6. HSL

   hsl(220.00 13.04% 90.98%)
