Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #dcdcdc. 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. input
H = 0.00°, S = 0.00%, L = 86.27%
2. C
C = (1 − |2L − 1|) × S = 0.00000
3. X
X = C × (1 − |(H / 60°) mod 2 − 1|) = 0.00000 (H / 60° = 0.0000, sector 0)
4. m
m = L − C / 2 = 0.86270
5. (R′, G′, B′) + m
(R′, G′, B′) = (0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000) R = round((0.00000 + 0.86270) × 255) = 220 G = round((0.00000 + 0.86270) × 255) = 220 B = round((0.00000 + 0.86270) × 255) = 220
