HSV to HSL Converter

Conversion procedure

1. Parse HSV: accept hsv(h, s%, v%) (sometimes called HSB in other apps) with the same numeric conventions as HSL: hue 0–360°, saturation and value 0–100%. Again, these values are inputs only; the engine converts them to RGB next.
2. Convert HSV → sRGB: S and V (value / brightness) are scaled to 0–1. Chroma C = V × S. As with HSL, hue selects which two of R,G,B carry the chroma and intermediate values; m = V − C is added to each channel before scaling to 0–255 with rounding and clamping.
3. Build HSL: RGB is normalized to 0–1. Lightness L = (max + min)/2. Saturation S is 0 if max = min; otherwise S = (max − min) / (max + min) when L ≤ 0.5, or S = (max − min) / (2 − max − min) when L > 0.5. Hue (0–360°) is derived from which channel is maximal and the differences between channels. The page displays integer degrees and whole-number percentages: hsl(h, s%, l%).
4. Finalize: the result string is what you copy from the calculator. The line under the fields summarizes the path in short form (HSL ← sRGB ← HSV). Rounding is intentional so values read like typical CSS; tiny differences versus other apps can still appear because of integer hue, saturation, lightness/value, or ink percentages.
5. HSL/HSV reminder: when hue, saturation, and lightness/value are shown as whole numbers, more than one underlying RGB can produce the same text. Typing those integers back into a converter may therefore differ by ±1 from a color you first picked as HEX in the Color Picker—that is expected rounding behavior, not a broken formula.
