Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. RGB ÷ 255

    R = 0.9098
    G = 0.8941
    B = 0.8902
  2. 2. max, min, Δ

    max = 0.9098
    min = 0.8902
    Δ = max − min = 0.0196
  3. 3. L

    L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.9000 = 90.00%
  4. 4. S

    S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.0980 = 9.80%
  5. 5. H

    max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.8941 − 0.8902) / 0.0196) mod 6) = 12.00°
  6. 6. HSL

    hsl(12.00 9.80% 90.00%)
