How to convert rgb to hue color format?

Question

im working with the phue library and want to change the color with

b.set_group(group, "hue", color)

I have read, that color is a number between 0 and 65535.

I want to input a rgb number, so i will need to convert it first. May someone got a idea how i can do this?

so do you want to convert it to the `color` or to `hue` ? Because `hue` is from range `[0, 1]` or `[0, 360]` — Mahrkeenerh, Oct 29 '21 at 12:46
Please give example of the input format and the matching expected output — mozway, Oct 29 '21 at 12:46
well then you gotta figure out what the conversion is. 65535 doesn't sound like anything conventional — Mahrkeenerh, Oct 29 '21 at 13:04
@mozway Input: r 100 g 100 b 100 Output should be the number from 0-65535 :) — KaffeMitMilf, Oct 29 '21 at 13:04
