Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. sRGB → linear

    R: 236/255 = 0.92549 → 0.838799  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    G: 253/255 = 0.99216 → 0.982251  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    B: 245/255 = 0.96078 → 0.913099  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
  2. 2. linear sRGB → LMS

    l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.919559
    m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.944426
    s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.926019
  3. 3. cube root

    l′ = ∛0.919559 = 0.972433
    m′ = ∛0.944426 = 0.981121
    s′ = ∛0.926019 = 0.974705
  4. 4. LMS′ → Oklab

    L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.97932
    a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = -0.02008
    b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = 0.00496
  5. 5. Oklab → OKLCH

    C = √(a² + b²) = 0.02068
    H = atan2(b, a) = 166.113°
    L = 0.97932
  6. 6. OKLCH

    oklch(0.97932 0.02068 166.113)
    rounded: oklch(0.979 0.021 166.1)
