Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9137
G = 0.5882
B = 0.4784
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9137
min = 0.4784
Δ = max − min = 0.4353

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.6961 = 69.61%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.7161 = 71.61%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.5882 − 0.4784) / 0.4353) mod 6) = 15.14°

6. HSL
```
hsl(15.14 71.61% 69.61%)
```
