Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #cefafe. The rounded form is what you normally paste into CSS.

Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 185.00°, S = 96.00%, L = 90.20%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.18816
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.17248   (H / 60° = 3.0833, sector 3)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.80792
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.00000, 0.17248, 0.18816)
R = round((0.00000 + 0.80792) × 255) = 206
G = round((0.17248 + 0.80792) × 255) = 250
B = round((0.18816 + 0.80792) × 255) = 254

6. RGB → HEX
```
#CEFAFE
```
