Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. sRGB → linear

    R: 232/255 = 0.90980 → 0.806952  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    G: 228/255 = 0.89412 → 0.775822  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    B: 227/255 = 0.89020 → 0.768151  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
  2. 2. linear sRGB → LMS

    l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.788260
    m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.781595
    s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.773738
  3. 3. cube root

    l′ = ∛0.788260 = 0.923754
    m′ = ∛0.781595 = 0.921143
    s′ = ∛0.773738 = 0.918047
  4. 4. LMS′ → Oklab

    L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.92171
    a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = 0.00377
    b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = 0.00257
  5. 5. Oklab → OKLCH

    C = √(a² + b²) = 0.00456
    H = atan2(b, a) = 34.309°
    L = 0.92171
  6. 6. OKLCH

    oklch(0.92171 0.00456 34.309)
    rounded: oklch(0.922 0.005 34.3)
