Step-by-step math

Every number below is computed from the input, nothing is looked up.

1. input
```
H = 173.41°, S = 80.39%, L = 40.00%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.64312
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.57248   (H / 60° = 2.8902, sector 2)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.07844
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.00000, 0.64312, 0.57248)
R = round((0.00000 + 0.07844) × 255) = 20
G = round((0.64312 + 0.07844) × 255) = 184
B = round((0.57248 + 0.07844) × 255) = 166

6. RGB → HEX
```
#14B8A6
```
