[PostCSS Color Function] lets you use the `color` function in
CSS, following the [CSS Color] specification.

```pcss
.color {
	color: color(display-p3 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

:root {
	--a-color: color(srgb 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

/* becomes */

.color {
	color: rgb(179,35,35);
}

:root {
	--a-color: rgb(164,49,43);
}
```

## Usage

Add [PostCSS Color Function] to your project:

```bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-color-function --save-dev
```

Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:

```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssColorFunction = require('@csstools/postcss-color-function');

postcss([
	postcssColorFunction(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```

[PostCSS Color Function] runs in all Node environments, with special
instructions for:

| [Node](INSTALL.md#node) | [PostCSS CLI](INSTALL.md#postcss-cli) | [Webpack](INSTALL.md#webpack) | [Create React App](INSTALL.md#create-react-app) | [Gulp](INSTALL.md#gulp) | [Grunt](INSTALL.md#grunt) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

## Options

### preserve

The `preserve` option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.

```js
postcssColorFunction({ preserve: true })
```

```pcss
.color {
	color: color(display-p3 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

:root {
	--a-color: color(srgb 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

/* becomes */

.color {
	color: rgb(179,35,35);
	color: color(display-p3 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

:root {
	--a-color: rgb(164,49,43);
}

@supports (color: color(srgb 0 0 0)) {
:root {
	--a-color: color(srgb 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}
}
```

### enableProgressiveCustomProperties

The `enableProgressiveCustomProperties` option determines whether the original notation
is wrapped with `@supports` when used in Custom Properties. By default, it is enabled.

⚠️ We only recommend disabling this when you set `preserve` to `false` or if you bring your own fix for Custom Properties. See what the plugin does in its [README](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-progressive-custom-properties#readme).

```js
postcssColorFunction({ enableProgressiveCustomProperties: false })
```

```pcss
.color {
	color: color(display-p3 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

:root {
	--a-color: color(srgb 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

/* becomes */

.color {
	color: rgb(179,35,35);
	color: color(display-p3 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}

:root {
	--a-color: rgb(164,49,43);
	--a-color: color(srgb 0.64331 0.19245 0.16771);
}
```

_Custom properties do not fallback to the previous declaration_

## Supported Color Spaces

```css
.color-spaces {
	color: color(a98-rgb 0.803 0.484 0.944);
	color: color(display-p3 0.8434 0.509 0.934);
	color: color(prophoto-rgb 0.759 0.493 0.898);
	color: color(rec2020 0.772 0.491 0.920);
	color: color(srgb 0.897 0.488 0.959);
	color: color(srgb-linear 0.783 0.203 0.910);
	color: color(xyz 0.560 0.377 0.904);
	color: color(xyz-d50 0.550 0.375 0.680);
	color: color(xyz-d65 0.560 0.377 0.904);
}
```

## Out of gamut colors

Depending on the browser implementation out of gamut colors may be clipped, resulting in a different color.<br>
Fallback values generated by [PostCSS Color Function] are always mapped to a close alternative in sRGB.

When setting `preserve` to `true` the original values will be used by some browsers and these may be clipped.<br>
Certain browsers will have an incorrect color if this occurs.

If the plugin detects out of gamut colors it will emit a warning :

> "color(srgb-linear -0.01656 0.23079 0.25298)" is out of gamut for "srgb-linear". When "preserve: true" is set this will lead to unexpected results in some browsers.

To resolve this warning pick a larger color space when declaring the original value.
