Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9412
G = 0.5020
B = 0.5020
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9412
min = 0.5020
Δ = max − min = 0.4392

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

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.7887 = 78.87%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.5020 − 0.5020) / 0.4392) mod 6) = 0.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(0.00 78.87% 72.16%)
```
