Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9333
G = 0.5098
B = 0.9333
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9333
min = 0.5098
Δ = max − min = 0.4235

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.7216 = 72.16%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.7606 = 76.06%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.5098 − 0.9333) / 0.4235) mod 6) = 300.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(300.00 76.06% 72.16%)
```
