Every step of the maths
How HEX becomes Adobe RGB
Each step shows the values for the color above, as the converter computes them.
- Start Hex digits
#D3AF37 - Back 8-bit channels
each pair of digits read as a byte211 175 55 - Back sRGB channels, 0 to 1
each byte ÷ 2550.8275 0.6863 0.2157 - Then Linear light
c ≤ 0.04045 ? c / 12.92 : ((c + 0.055) / 1.055)^2.40.65141 0.42869 0.0382 - Then CIE XYZ, D65
the sRGB to XYZ matrix0.42882 0.44786 0.1 - Then Linear Adobe RGB
the XYZ to Adobe RGB matrix0.58796 0.42869 0.05428 - Then Adobe RGB (1998)

About Adobe RGB
Adobe RGB (1998) widens sRGB in the greens and cyans that print and photography need, with a simple power curve near 2.2. CSS reads it as color(a98-rgb …).
How this page writes it
- The curve is exactly a power of 563 / 256, and the matrices are built from the Adobe RGB primaries and D65.
Watch for
- Adobe RGB numbers shown as if they were sRGB look dull; the two are not interchangeable.
