CIE L*a*b* is first converted to CIE XYZ using the D65 reference white, then XYZ is converted to linear RGB using the inverse sRGB matrix, and finally gamma-encoded back to standard sRGB. L* is lightness from 0 (black) to 100 (white), a* runs from green (negative) to red (positive), and b* runs from blue (negative) to yellow (positive). For example, lab(43, 65, -79) is roughly RGB(124, 58, 237). This tool does the math automatically.
Enter your LAB values in any common format: lab(43,65,-79), 43, 65, -79, or 43 65 -79. L accepts 0-100, a and b accept -128 to 127, and the tool is forgiving with spacing and punctuation. You can also use the color picker.
No. Every conversion happens locally in your browser. Nothing you type or pick is sent to a server.
Yes - use the RGB to LAB converter for the reverse direction, or any of the other format converters linked below.
LAB covers a wider range of colors than a screen using sRGB can display. If a LAB value falls outside the sRGB gamut, the converted RGB channels are clamped to the nearest displayable value (0-255), so the result you see is the closest reproducible approximation rather than a perfect match.
