Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. sRGB → linear

    R: 119/255 = 0.46667 → 0.184475  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    G: 136/255 = 0.53333 → 0.246201  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    B: 153/255 = 0.60000 → 0.318547  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
  2. 2. linear sRGB → LMS

    l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.224478
    m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.240891
    s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.286327
  3. 3. cube root

    l′ = ∛0.224478 = 0.607750
    m′ = ∛0.240891 = 0.622215
    s′ = ∛0.286327 = 0.659104
  4. 4. LMS′ → Oklab

    L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.61902
    a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = -0.01199
    b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = -0.03021
  5. 5. Oklab → OKLCH

    C = √(a² + b²) = 0.03250
    H = atan2(b, a) = 248.351°
    L = 0.61902
  6. 6. OKLCH

    oklch(0.61902 0.03250 248.351)
    rounded: oklch(0.619 0.033 248.4)
