Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
oklch(0.79269 0.17103 70.670)
```

2. OKLCH → Oklab

a = C·cos H = 0.05661
b = C·sin H = 0.16139

3. Oklab → LMS′

l′ = L + 0.3963·a + 0.2158·b = 0.849956
m′ = L − 0.1056·a − 0.0639·b = 0.776409
s′ = L − 0.0895·a − 1.2915·b = 0.579193

4. cube

l = 0.849956³ = 0.614029
m = 0.776409³ = 0.468027
s = 0.579193³ = 0.194299

5. LMS → linear sRGB

R = 4.0767·l − 3.3077·m + 0.2310·s = 1.000018
G = −1.2684·l + 2.6098·m − 0.3413·s = 0.376261
B = −0.0042·l − 0.7034·m + 1.7076·s = -0.000008

6. linear → sRGB, × 255

R = 1.00000 × 255 = 255.00 → 255
G = 0.64706 × 255 = 165.00 → 165
B = 0.00000 × 255 = 0.00 → 0

7. RGB → HEX
```
#FFA500
```
