Step-by-step math

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

  1. 1. sRGB → linear

    R: 255/255 = 1.00000 → 1.000000  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    G: 223/255 = 0.87451 → 0.737910  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
    B: 32/255 = 0.12549 → 0.014444  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
  2. 2. linear sRGB → LMS

    l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.808730
    m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.715750
    s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.305285
  3. 3. cube root

    l′ = ∛0.808730 = 0.931682
    m′ = ∛0.715750 = 0.894514
    s′ = ∛0.305285 = 0.673341
  4. 4. LMS′ → Oklab

    L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.90324
    a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = -0.02614
    b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = 0.17982
  5. 5. Oklab → OKLCH

    C = √(a² + b²) = 0.18171
    H = atan2(b, a) = 98.271°
    L = 0.90324
  6. 6. OKLCH

    oklch(0.90324 0.18171 98.271)
    rounded: oklch(0.903 0.182 98.3)
