Step-by-step math

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

1. sRGB → linear

R: 222/255 = 0.87059 → 0.730461  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
G: 184/255 = 0.72157 → 0.479320  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
B: 135/255 = 0.52941 → 0.242281  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)

2. linear sRGB → LMS

l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.570651
m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.507080
s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.352167

3. cube root

l′ = ∛0.570651 = 0.829450
m′ = ∛0.507080 = 0.797429
s′ = ∛0.352167 = 0.706181

4. LMS′ → Oklab

L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.80454
a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = 0.02222
b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = 0.07462

5. Oklab → OKLCH

C = √(a² + b²) = 0.07786
H = atan2(b, a) = 73.417°
L = 0.80454

6. OKLCH

oklch(0.80454 0.07786 73.417)
rounded: oklch(0.805 0.078 73.4)
