#FFC0CB is 255 red, 192 green and 203 blue. Its red channel carries the most of it. The nearest of the 216 web safe colors is #FFCCCC.

CIE-Lab, XYZ and Yxy are measured against D65, the white point sRGB itself is defined against. Hunter Lab uses the original illuminant C constants, which is what paint and plastics specifications quote, so the two Lab rows are not directly comparable. CMYK is the plain arithmetic conversion: real ink values depend on the press, the paper and the profile.
