Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 42.66°, S = 88.72%, L = 38.24%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.67853
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.48244   (H / 60° = 0.7110, sector 0)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.04313
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.67853, 0.48244, 0.00000)
R = round((0.67853 + 0.04313) × 255) = 184
G = round((0.48244 + 0.04313) × 255) = 134
B = round((0.00000 + 0.04313) × 255) = 11

6. RGB → HEX
```
#B8860B
```
