Step-by-step math

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

1. RGB ÷ 255
```
R = 1.0000
G = 0.8941
B = 0.7098
```

2. max, min, Δ

max = 1.0000
min = 0.7098
Δ = max − min = 0.2902

3. L
```
L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.8549 = 85.49%
```

4. S

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

5. H

max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.8941 − 0.7098) / 0.2902) mod 6) = 38.11°

6. HSL
```
hsl(38.11 100.00% 85.49%)
```
