OKLCH to HEX: #A1A1A1

Also known as: Tailwind neutral-400

Result

oklch(0.70900 0.00000 0.000) → #A1A1A1

Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #a1a1a1. 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. 1. input

    oklch(0.70900 0.00000 0.000)
  2. 2. OKLCH → Oklab

    a = C·cos H = 0.00000
    b = C·sin H = 0.00000
  3. 3. Oklab → LMS′

    l′ = L + 0.3963·a + 0.2158·b = 0.709000
    m′ = L − 0.1056·a − 0.0639·b = 0.709000
    s′ = L − 0.0895·a − 1.2915·b = 0.709000
  4. 4. cube

    l = 0.709000³ = 0.356401
    m = 0.709000³ = 0.356401
    s = 0.709000³ = 0.356401
  5. 5. LMS → linear sRGB

    R = 4.0767·l − 3.3077·m + 0.2310·s = 0.356401
    G = −1.2684·l + 2.6098·m − 0.3413·s = 0.356401
    B = −0.0042·l − 0.7034·m + 1.7076·s = 0.356401
  6. 6. linear → sRGB, × 255

    R = 0.63137 × 255 = 161.00 → 161
    G = 0.63137 × 255 = 161.00 → 161
    B = 0.63137 × 255 = 161.00 → 161
  7. 7. RGB → HEX
