Normally, 0..255 scale rgb values are in the sRGB space.
To use them, you need to do this :
1) In the global_settings block, set assumed_gamma 1
2) In your pigment, use srgb instead of just rgb.

When you use rgb, POV-Ray use linear range.
When you use srgb, POV-Ray use the sRGB tranfert formula to convert the 
non-linear ranges of the sRGB colour space into the linear range of the 
rgb colour space.

The format is :

pigment{ srgb sRGB_Colour/255 }
