PostCSS OKLab Function lets you use oklab and oklch color functions in
CSS, following the CSS Color specification.
```pcss .test-oklab { color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039); }
.test-oklch { color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626); }
/ becomes /
.test-oklab { color: rgb(73, 71, 69); color: color(display-p3 0.28515 0.27983 0.27246); }
.test-oklch { color: rgb(131, 28, 0); color: color(display-p3 0.49163 0.11178 0.00000); } ```
Add PostCSS OKLab Function to your project:
bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-oklab-function --save-dev
Use it as a PostCSS plugin:
```js const postcss = require('postcss'); const postcssOKLabFunction = require('@csstools/postcss-oklab-function');
postcss([ postcssOKLabFunction(/ pluginOptions /) ]).process(YOUR_CSS /, processOptions /); ```
PostCSS OKLab Function runs in all Node environments, with special instructions for:
| Node | PostCSS CLI | Webpack | Create React App | Gulp | Grunt | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
The preserve option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.
js
postcssOKLabFunction({ preserve: true })
```pcss .test-oklab { color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039); }
.test-oklch { color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626); }
/ becomes /
.test-oklab { color: rgb(73, 71, 69); color: color(display-p3 0.28515 0.27983 0.27246); color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039); }
.test-oklch { color: rgb(131, 28, 0); color: color(display-p3 0.49163 0.11178 0.00000); color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626); } ```
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.
js
postcssOKLabFunction({ enableProgressiveCustomProperties: false })
```pcss :root { --firebrick: oklab(40% 0.234 0.39); }
/ becomes /
:root { --firebrick: rgb(133, 0, 67); / will never be used, not even in older browser / --firebrick: color(display-p3 0.49890 0.00000 0.25954); / will never be used, not even in older browser / --firebrick: oklab(40% 0.234 0.39); } ```
The subFeatures.displayP3 option determines if color(display-p3 ...) is used as a fallback.
By default, it is enabled.
display-p3 can display wider gamut colors than rgb on some devices.
js
postcssOKLabFunction({
subFeatures: {
displayP3: false
}
})
```pcss .test-oklab { color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039); }
.test-oklch { color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626); }
/ becomes /
.test-oklab { color: rgb(73, 71, 69); }
.test-oklch { color: rgb(131, 28, 0); } ```
Depending on the browser implementation out of gamut colors may be clipped, resulting in a different color.
Fallback values generated by PostCSS OKLab 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.
Certain browsers will have an incorrect color if this occurs.
If the plugin detects out of gamut colors it will emit a warning :
"oklab(40% 0.234 0.39)" is out of gamut for "display-p3". When "preserve: true" is set this will lead to unexpected results in some browsers.
To resolve this warning you can use a color that is in gamut for display-p3.
