Step-by-step math

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

1. 1. RGB ÷ 255

   R = 0.9843
   G = 0.7490
   B = 0.1412

2. 2. max, min, Δ

   max = 0.9843
   min = 0.1412
   Δ = max − min = 0.8431

3. 3. L

   L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.5627 = 56.27%

4. 4. S

   S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.9641 = 96.41%

5. 5. H

   max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.7490 − 0.1412) / 0.8431) mod 6) = 43.26°

6. 6. HSL

   hsl(43.26 96.41% 56.27%)
