Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 0.9922
G = 0.9020
B = 0.5412
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 0.9922
min = 0.5412
Δ = max − min = 0.4510

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.7667 = 76.67%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 0.9664 = 96.64%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.9020 − 0.5412) / 0.4510) mod 6) = 48.00°

6. HSL
```
hsl(48.00 96.64% 76.67%)
```
