Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. sRGB → linear

    R: 249/255 = 0.97647 → 0.947307  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    G: 250/255 = 0.98039 → 0.955973  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    B: 251/255 = 0.98431 → 0.964686  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
  2. 2. linear sRGB → LMS

    l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.952849
    m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.955073
    s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.960697
  3. 3. cube root

    l′ = ∛0.952849 = 0.984029
    m′ = ∛0.955073 = 0.984794
    s′ = ∛0.960697 = 0.986724
  4. 4. LMS′ → Oklab

    L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.98463
    a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = -0.00064
    b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = -0.00158
  5. 5. Oklab → OKLCH

    C = √(a² + b²) = 0.00171
    H = atan2(b, a) = 247.839°
    L = 0.98463
  6. 6. OKLCH

    oklch(0.98463 0.00171 247.839)
    rounded: oklch(0.985 0.002 247.8)
