Step-by-step math

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

1. sRGB → linear

R: 250/255 = 0.98039 → 0.955973  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
G: 128/255 = 0.50196 → 0.215861  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
B: 114/255 = 0.44706 → 0.168269  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)

2. linear sRGB → LMS

l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.518503
m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.367582
s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.251233

3. cube root

l′ = ∛0.518503 = 0.803373
m′ = ∛0.367582 = 0.716338
s′ = ∛0.251233 = 0.630994

4. LMS′ → Oklab

L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.73500
a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = 0.13370
b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = 0.07127

5. Oklab → OKLCH

C = √(a² + b²) = 0.15151
H = atan2(b, a) = 28.060°
L = 0.73500

6. OKLCH

oklch(0.73500 0.15151 28.060)
rounded: oklch(0.735 0.152 28.1)
