Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 1.0000
G = 0.4980
B = 0.3137
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 1.0000
min = 0.3137
Δ = max − min = 0.6863

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.6569 = 65.69%
```

4. S

S = Δ / (1 − |2L − 1|) = 1.0000 = 100.00%

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.4980 − 0.3137) / 0.6863) mod 6) = 16.11°

6. HSL
```
hsl(16.11 100.00% 65.69%)
```
