Convert HEX to HSL

Ideal for people who think about color in hue and lightness instead of pure RGB channels.

Input color

HEX: #a855f7
HSL: hsl(271, 91%, 65%)

Conversion is purely mathematical and local. Nothing is sent to any server.

Why use HSL

HSL makes it easier to adjust hue, saturation and lightness in themes, design tokens and interface systems.
Everything is still converted locally, so the flow is fast and requires no API.
