Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 293.33°, S = 7.89%, L = 44.71%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.07055
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.06271   (H / 60° = 4.8888, sector 4)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.41182
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.06271, 0.00000, 0.07055)
R = round((0.06271 + 0.41182) × 255) = 121
G = round((0.00000 + 0.41182) × 255) = 105
B = round((0.07055 + 0.41182) × 255) = 123

6. RGB → HEX
```
#79697B
```
