Rgb Hsl Conversion

R
/**
 * Given a color in RGB format, convert it to HSL format.
 *
 * For more info: https://www.niwa.nu/2013/05/math-behind-colorspace-conversions-rgb-hsl/
 *
 * @param {number[]} colorRgb - One dimensional array of integers (RGB color format).
 * @returns {number[]} - One dimensional array of integers (HSL color format).
 *
 * @example
 * const colorRgb = [24, 98, 118]
 *
 * const result = rgbToHsl(colorRgb)
 *
 * // The function returns the corresponding color in HSL format:
 * // result = [193, 66, 28]
