Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9176
G = 0.7020
B = 0.0314
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9176
min = 0.0314
Δ = max − min = 0.8863

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.4745 = 47.45%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.9339 = 93.39%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.7020 − 0.0314) / 0.8863) mod 6) = 45.40°

6. HSL
```
hsl(45.40 93.39% 47.45%)
```
