Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9725
G = 0.9804
B = 0.9882
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9882
min = 0.9725
Δ = max − min = 0.0157

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.9804 = 98.04%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.4000 = 40.00%

5. H

max is B → H = 60° × ((R − G) / Δ + 4) = 60° × ((0.9725 − 0.9804) / 0.0157 + 4) = 210.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(210.00 40.00% 98.04%)
```
