Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
H = 38.82°, S = 100.00%, L = 50.00%
```
2. C
```
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 1.00000
```

3. X

X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.64700   (H / 60° = 0.6470, sector 0)

4. m
```
m = L − C / 2 = 0.00000
```

5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

(R′, G′, B′) = (1.00000, 0.64700, 0.00000)
R = round((1.00000 + 0.00000) × 255) = 255
G = round((0.64700 + 0.00000) × 255) = 165
B = round((0.00000 + 0.00000) × 255) = 0

6. RGB → HEX
```
#FFA500
```
