Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9569
G = 0.6431
B = 0.3765
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9569
min = 0.3765
Δ = max − min = 0.5804

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.6667 = 66.67%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.8706 = 87.06%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.6431 − 0.3765) / 0.5804) mod 6) = 27.57°

6. HSL
```
hsl(27.57 87.06% 66.67%)
```
