Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 198.56°, S = 100.00%, L = 72.75%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.54500
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.37641   (H / 60° = 3.3093, sector 3)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.45500
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.00000, 0.37641, 0.54500)
R = round((0.00000 + 0.45500) × 255) = 116
G = round((0.37641 + 0.45500) × 255) = 212
B = round((0.54500 + 0.45500) × 255) = 255

6. RGB → HEX
```
#74D4FF
```
