Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 212.50°, S = 29.27%, L = 83.92%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.09413
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.04314   (H / 60° = 3.5417, sector 3)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.79213
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.00000, 0.04314, 0.09413)
R = round((0.00000 + 0.79213) × 255) = 202
G = round((0.04314 + 0.79213) × 255) = 213
B = round((0.09413 + 0.79213) × 255) = 226

6. RGB → HEX
```
#CAD5E2
```
