HEX to OKLCH: #FBFAF9

Result

Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #fbfaf9. The rounded form is what you normally paste into CSS.

Step-by-step math

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

1. 1. sRGB → linear

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

2. 2. linear sRGB → LMS

   l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.959119
   m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.956889
   s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.951283

3. 3. cube root

   l′ = ∛0.959119 = 0.986183
   m′ = ∛0.956889 = 0.985418
   s′ = ∛0.951283 = 0.983490

4. 4. LMS′ → Oklab

   L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.98559
   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) = 67.802°
   L = 0.98559

6. 6. OKLCH

   oklch(0.98559 0.00171 67.802)
   rounded: oklch(0.986 0.002 67.8)
