Step-by-step math

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

1. input
```
oklch(0.72302 0.01427 214.384)
```

2. OKLCH → Oklab

a = C·cos H = -0.01178
b = C·sin H = -0.00806

3. Oklab → LMS′

l′ = L + 0.3963·a + 0.2158·b = 0.716613
m′ = L − 0.1056·a − 0.0639·b = 0.724778
s′ = L − 0.0895·a − 1.2915·b = 0.734482

4. cube

l = 0.716613³ = 0.368006
m = 0.724778³ = 0.380728
s = 0.734482³ = 0.396226

5. LMS → linear sRGB

R = 4.0767·l − 3.3077·m + 0.2310·s = 0.332443
G = −1.2684·l + 2.6098·m − 0.3413·s = 0.391575
B = −0.0042·l − 0.7034·m + 1.7076·s = 0.407246

6. linear → sRGB, × 255

R = 0.61176 × 255 = 156.00 → 156
G = 0.65883 × 255 = 168.00 → 168
B = 0.67059 × 255 = 171.00 → 171

7. RGB → HEX
```
#9CA8AB
