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: 254/255 = 0.99608 → 0.991102  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    B: 255/255 = 1.00000 → 1.000000  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
  2. 2. linear sRGB → LMS

    l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.928777
    m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.959784
    s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.983259
  3. 3. cube root

    l′ = ∛0.928777 = 0.975672
    m′ = ∛0.959784 = 0.986411
    s′ = ∛0.983259 = 0.994388
  4. 4. LMS′ → Oklab

    L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.98412
    a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = -0.01765
    b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = -0.00673
  5. 5. Oklab → OKLCH

    C = √(a² + b²) = 0.01889
    H = atan2(b, a) = 200.873°
    L = 0.98412
  6. 6. OKLCH

    oklch(0.98412 0.01889 200.873)
    rounded: oklch(0.984 0.019 200.9)
