Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. input

    H = 0.00°, S = 100.00%, L = 99.02%
  2. 2. C

    C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.01960
  3. 3. X

    X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.00000   (H / 60° = 0.0000, sector 0)
  4. 4. m

    m = L − C / 2 = 0.98040
  5. 5. (R′, G′, B′) + m

    (R′, G′, B′) = (0.01960, 0.00000, 0.00000)
    R = round((0.01960 + 0.98040) × 255) = 255
    G = round((0.00000 + 0.98040) × 255) = 250
    B = round((0.00000 + 0.98040) × 255) = 250
  6. 6. RGB → HEX
