Reply To: Convert hexadecimal value to HSL

@hube2 I am back after a while.

I believed that code worked, but it’s something missing right here..

function hexToHsl($hex){
    $red = hexdec(substr($hex, 0, 2)) / 255;
    $green = hexdec(substr($hex, 2, 2)) / 255;
    $blue = hexdec(substr($hex, 4, 2)) / 255;

    $cmin = min($red, $green, $blue);
    $cmax = max($red, $green, $blue);
    $delta = $cmax - $cmin;

    if ($delta === 0) {
        $hue = 0;
    } elseif ($cmax === $red) {
        $hue = (($green - $blue) / $delta) % 6;
    } elseif ($cmax === $green) {
        $hue = ($blue - $red) / $delta + 2;
    } else {
        $hue = ($red - $green) / $delta + 4;
    }

    $hue = round($hue * 60);
    if ($hue < 0) {
        $hue += 360;
    }

    $lightness = (($cmax + $cmin) / 2) * 100;
    $saturation = $delta === 0 ? 0 : ($delta / (1 - abs(2 * $lightness - 1))) * 100;
    if ($saturation < 0) {
        $saturation += 100;
    }

    $lightness = round($lightness);
    $saturation = round($saturation);

    return "hsl(${hue}, ${saturation}%, ${lightness}%)";
    }

usage

<?php echo '',print_r(hexToHsl($hex_color)).'';?>

Returns : hsl(137, 99%, 42%)1 but the correct is hsl(258, 83%, 45%). What exactly I’m doing wrong? Any kind of help is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Mike
