OKLCH to HEX: #FAFAFA

Also known as: Tailwind mauve-50, Tailwind neutral-50, Tailwind zinc-50, Tailwind v3 zinc-50, Tailwind v3 neutral-50

oklch(0.98510 0.00000 0.000) → #FAFAFA

Values are shown at full precision, so converting back gives exactly #fafafa. 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(0.98510 0.00000 0.000)
```

2. OKLCH → Oklab

a = C·cos H = 0.00000
b = C·sin H = 0.00000

3. Oklab → LMS′

l′ = L + 0.3963·a + 0.2158·b = 0.985100
m′ = L − 0.1056·a − 0.0639·b = 0.985100
s′ = L − 0.0895·a − 1.2915·b = 0.985100

4. cube

l = 0.985100³ = 0.955963
m = 0.985100³ = 0.955963
s = 0.985100³ = 0.955963

5. LMS → linear sRGB

R = 4.0767·l − 3.3077·m + 0.2310·s = 0.955963
G = −1.2684·l + 2.6098·m − 0.3413·s = 0.955963
B = −0.0042·l − 0.7034·m + 1.7076·s = 0.955963

6. linear → sRGB, × 255

R = 0.98039 × 255 = 250.00 → 250
G = 0.98039 × 255 = 250.00 → 250
B = 0.98039 × 255 = 250.00 → 250

7. RGB → HEX
```
#FAFAFA
```
