Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. RGB ÷ 255

    R = 1.0000
    G = 0.9804
    B = 0.9804
  2. 2. max, min, Δ

    max = 1.0000
    min = 0.9804
    Δ = max − min = 0.0196
  3. 3. L

    L = (max + min) / 2 = 0.9902 = 99.02%
  4. 4. S

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

    max is R → H = 60° × (((G − B) / Δ) mod 6) = 60° × (((0.9804 − 0.9804) / 0.0196) mod 6) = 0.00°
  6. 6. HSL

    hsl(0.00 100.00% 99.02%)
