Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 45.40°, S = 93.39%, L = 47.45%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.88627
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.67061   (H / 60° = 0.7567, sector 0)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.03136
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (0.88627, 0.67061, 0.00000)
R = round((0.88627 + 0.03136) × 255) = 234
G = round((0.67061 + 0.03136) × 255) = 179
B = round((0.00000 + 0.03136) × 255) = 8

6. RGB → HEX
```
#EAB308
```
