It’s more accurate to say you probably shouldn’t be applying any operations to sRGB values directly. They’re non-linearly “compressed” and most operations assume they’re working in a linear space. Of course, if you want, you can figure out the equivalent “chain rule” of your operation, but realistically sRGB also mostly exists to compress colors into 8-bits per channel which doesn’t allow for great manipulation. Fun fact: this is why LRBni had a “load 8-bit as sRGB and upconvert to linear floating point”.
