Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 213.91°, S = 41.07%, L = 78.04%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.18038
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.07843   (H / 60° = 3.5652, sector 3)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.69021
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.00000, 0.07843, 0.18038)
R = round((0.00000 + 0.69021) × 255) = 176
G = round((0.07843 + 0.69021) × 255) = 196
B = round((0.18038 + 0.69021) × 255) = 222

6. RGB → HEX
```
#B0C4DE
```
