Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 252.80°, S = 100.00%, L = 85.29%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.29420
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.06276   (H / 60° = 4.2133, sector 4)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.70580
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.06276, 0.00000, 0.29420)
R = round((0.06276 + 0.70580) × 255) = 196
G = round((0.00000 + 0.70580) × 255) = 180
B = round((0.29420 + 0.70580) × 255) = 255

6. RGB → HEX
```
#C4B4FF
```
