Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #d8bfd8. The rounded form is what you normally paste into CSS.

Step-by-step math

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

1. sRGB → linear

R: 216/255 = 0.84706 → 0.686685  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
G: 191/255 = 0.74902 → 0.520996  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
B: 216/255 = 0.84706 → 0.686685  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)

2. linear sRGB → LMS

l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.597821
m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.573900
s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.640007

3. cube root

l′ = ∛0.597821 = 0.842410
m′ = ∛0.573900 = 0.831021
s′ = ∛0.640007 = 0.861777

4. LMS′ → Oklab

L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.83329
a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = 0.03639
b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = -0.02458

5. Oklab → OKLCH

C = √(a² + b²) = 0.04391
H = atan2(b, a) = 325.963°
L = 0.83329

6. OKLCH

oklch(0.83329 0.04391 325.963)
rounded: oklch(0.833 0.044 326.0)
