Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9333
G = 0.9098
B = 0.6667
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9333
min = 0.6667
Δ = max − min = 0.2667

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.8000 = 80.00%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.6667 = 66.67%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.9098 − 0.6667) / 0.2667) mod 6) = 54.71°

6. HSL
```
hsl(54.71 66.67% 80.00%)
```
