Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 248.35°, S = 53.49%, L = 57.84%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.45103
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.06277   (H / 60° = 4.1392, sector 4)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.35289
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.06277, 0.00000, 0.45103)
R = round((0.06277 + 0.35289) × 255) = 106
G = round((0.00000 + 0.35289) × 255) = 90
B = round((0.45103 + 0.35289) × 255) = 205

6. RGB → HEX
```
#6A5ACD
```
