Mathematical Formula & Explanation

Color Space Conversion Formulas: 1. HEX to RGB: Parse two-digit hex pairs to base 10: R = parseInt(hex.substr(0,2), 16), etc. 2. RGB to HSL: - r = R/255, g = G/255, b = B/255. M = max(r,g,b), m = min(r,g,b), C = M - m. - Lightness L = (M + m) / 2. - Saturation S = C == 0 ? 0 : C / (1 - |2L - 1|). - Hue H calculated from which channel equals M, scaled to 360°.
