As with every conversion I've ever seen posted here, the equations yeild
values below zero and above 1. Do you clip these? Scale them?
Here are some examples:
COLU R' G' B'
16 0 .283 -.428
158 1.35 -.055 1.818
The problem always lies here:
> R' = 1.140V' + Y'
> B' = 2.033U' + Y'

> V' = saturation * sin ( hue )
U' and V' can range from 0 to +/- 0.2105
Y' can range from 0 to 1.5
In a worst case U'=-0.215 and Y'=0, B' =2.033*-0.2105+0 = -0.428
Which is about what you see for COLU=16
At first I thought it would work out if you could just pick the right
value for saturation, but Y' can always be zero, meaning there is
always a way to get R', G', or B' to be negative. There are similar
problems on the high end too.
Using your equations, I get
-0.23869 < R' < 1.6386
-0.14744 < G' < 1.5464
-0.42794 < B' < 1.8186
Which doesn't jive at all with:

So do these get clipped or scaled or what?
