Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #00bcff. 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
```
oklch(0.74841 0.15510 233.252)
```

2. OKLCH → Oklab

a = C·cos H = -0.09280
b = C·sin H = -0.12428

3. Oklab → LMS′

l′ = L + 0.3963·a + 0.2158·b = 0.684812
m′ = L − 0.1056·a − 0.0639·b = 0.766141
s′ = L − 0.0895·a − 1.2915·b = 0.917217

4. cube

l = 0.684812³ = 0.321154
m = 0.766141³ = 0.449704
s = 0.917217³ = 0.771642

5. LMS → linear sRGB

R = 4.0767·l − 3.3077·m + 0.2310·s = -0.000001
G = −1.2684·l + 2.6098·m − 0.3413·s = 0.502877
B = −0.0042·l − 0.7034·m + 1.7076·s = 0.999989

6. linear → sRGB, × 255

R = 0.00000 × 255 = 0.00 → 0
G = 0.73725 × 255 = 188.00 → 188
B = 1.00000 × 255 = 255.00 → 255

7. RGB → HEX
```
#00BCFF
```
