Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. input

    H = 27.27°, S = 5.82%, L = 62.94%
  2. 2. C

    C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.04314
  3. 3. X

    X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.01961   (H / 60° = 0.4545, sector 0)
  4. 4. m

    m = L − C / 2 = 0.60783
  5. 5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

    (R′, G′, B′) = (0.04314, 0.01961, 0.00000)
    R = round((0.04314 + 0.60783) × 255) = 166
    G = round((0.01961 + 0.60783) × 255) = 160
    B = round((0.00000 + 0.60783) × 255) = 155
  6. 6. RGB → HEX
