Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9804
G = 0.5020
B = 0.4471
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9804
min = 0.4471
Δ = max − min = 0.5333

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.7137 = 71.37%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.9315 = 93.15%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.5020 − 0.4471) / 0.5333) mod 6) = 6.18°

6. HSL
```
hsl(6.18 93.15% 71.37%)
```
