HEX to OKLCH: #FFEBCD

Also known as: CSS blanchedalmond

#FFEBCD → oklch(0.948 0.045 78.1)

Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #ffebcd. 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. sRGB → linear

R: 255/255 = 1.00000 → 1.000000  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
G: 235/255 = 0.92157 → 0.830770  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)
B: 205/255 = 0.80392 → 0.610496  (((x + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.4)

2. linear sRGB → LMS

l = 0.4122·R + 0.5363·G + 0.0514·B = 0.889198
m = 0.2119·R + 0.6807·G + 0.1074·B = 0.842974
s = 0.0883·R + 0.2817·G + 0.6300·B = 0.706945

3. cube root

l′ = ∛0.889198 = 0.961611
m′ = ∛0.842974 = 0.944651
s′ = ∛0.706945 = 0.890831

4. LMS′ → Oklab

L = 0.2105·l′ + 0.7936·m′ − 0.0041·s′ = 0.94844
a = 1.9780·l′ − 2.4286·m′ + 0.4506·s′ = 0.00930
b = 0.0259·l′ + 0.7828·m′ − 0.8087·s′ = 0.04396

5. Oklab → OKLCH

C = √(a² + b²) = 0.04493
H = atan2(b, a) = 78.060°
L = 0.94844

6. OKLCH

oklch(0.94844 0.04493 78.060)
rounded: oklch(0.948 0.045 78.1)
