Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9804
G = 0.9804
B = 0.8235
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9804
min = 0.8235
Δ = max − min = 0.1569

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.9020 = 90.20%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.8000 = 80.00%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.9804 − 0.8235) / 0.1569) mod 6) = 60.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(60.00 80.00% 90.20%)
```
