Add wide gamut color support with OKLCH and LAB formats
Implements modern wide gamut color formats with CSS Color Module Level 4 gamut mapping, addressing PR feedback with Go implementation, performance benchmarks, and reorganized documentation. Features: - OKLCH (perceptually uniform color space) - CIE LAB (device-independent color space) - CSS Color 4 compliant gamut mapping algorithm - Inline comment support in color config parsing Addressing PR Feedback: 1. Go Implementation (tools/utils/style/): - Complete OKLCH and LAB parsing with gamut mapping - Matches Python implementation structure - Comprehensive test suite (all tests passing) - Performance benchmarks showing acceptable overhead 2. Performance Benchmarks: - OKLCH: ~4.6 µs/op - LAB: ~1.5 µs/op - 10 mixed colors: ~13 µs total - Typical config (50 colors): <0.5ms startup impact 3. Documentation Reorganization: - Moved detailed color docs to docs/wide-gamut-colors.rst - Configuration docs now link to separate documentation - Reduces size of main configuration documentation Gamut Mapping: - Binary search chroma reduction from CSS Color Module Level 4 - Preserves lightness and hue while reducing chroma for out-of-gamut colors - Uses deltaE OK (JND threshold: 0.02) for perceptual difference - Ensures graceful degradation on sRGB displays Python Implementation: - parse_oklch(): OKLCH color parsing with gamut mapping - parse_lab(): CIE LAB parsing with gamut mapping via OKLCH conversion - lab_to_oklch(): LAB to OKLCH conversion for consistent gamut mapping - oklch_to_srgb_gamut_map(): CSS Color 4 gamut mapping algorithm - srgb_to_oklab(): Reverse conversion for deltaE calculations - deltaE_ok(): Perceptual color difference in OKLab space Go Implementation: - colorspaces.go: All color space conversions and gamut mapping - wrapper.go: ParseColor() updated to support OKLCH and LAB - Comprehensive test coverage with benchmarks - Matches Python implementation behavior Robustness: - NaN and infinity validation in all color parsing functions - Defense-in-depth with validation at parsing and gamut mapping levels - Returns None/error for invalid input (consistent error handling) - Validates before clamping operations to prevent NaN propagation Files changed: - Python: kitty/rgb.py, kitty_tests/datatypes.py (+250 lines) - Go: tools/utils/style/colorspaces.go, wrapper.go (+350 lines, tests) - Docs: docs/wide-gamut-colors.rst (moved from inline) - Config: kitty/options/definition.py (simplified, links to docs) References: - CSS Color Module Level 4: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/ - OKLCH Color Space: https://bottosson.github.io/posts/oklab/ 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Wide gamut color formats
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
kitty supports modern wide gamut color formats for precise color specification.
|
||||
These formats can be used anywhere a color value is accepted in the configuration
|
||||
(foreground, background, color0-color255, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
OKLCH Colors
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
OKLCH is a perceptually uniform color space, ideal for creating color themes.
|
||||
The format is::
|
||||
|
||||
foreground oklch(0.9 0.05 140)
|
||||
color1 oklch(0.7 0.25 25)
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- **L** (Lightness): 0 to 1, where 0 is black and 1 is white
|
||||
- **C** (Chroma): 0 to approximately 0.4, represents color saturation
|
||||
- **H** (Hue): 0 to 360 degrees (0=red, 120=green, 240=blue)
|
||||
|
||||
Benefits:
|
||||
|
||||
- Perceptually uniform - equal changes produce equal perceived differences
|
||||
- Adjusting lightness preserves hue (unlike HSL)
|
||||
- Industry standard for modern color design
|
||||
|
||||
Example::
|
||||
|
||||
foreground oklch(0.9 0.05 140)
|
||||
color1 oklch(0.65 0.25 29) # Vibrant red-orange
|
||||
color2 oklch(0.65 0.25 142) # Vibrant green
|
||||
color3 oklch(0.70 0.19 90) # Warm yellow
|
||||
|
||||
CIE LAB Colors
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
CIE LAB is a device-independent color space designed to approximate human vision.
|
||||
|
||||
The format is::
|
||||
|
||||
background lab(20 5 -10)
|
||||
color4 lab(50 0 -50)
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- **L**: Lightness, 0 to 100 (0 = black, 100 = white)
|
||||
- **a**: Green (-) to red (+), typically -100 to +100
|
||||
- **b**: Blue (-) to yellow (+), typically -100 to +100
|
||||
|
||||
Example::
|
||||
|
||||
background lab(10 0 0) # Very dark neutral gray
|
||||
foreground lab(90 0 0) # Very light neutral gray
|
||||
color1 lab(50 60 40) # Red
|
||||
color4 lab(50 0 -50) # Blue
|
||||
|
||||
Gamut Mapping
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
When you specify colors in OKLCH or CIE LAB formats that are outside your display's
|
||||
color gamut, kitty automatically converts them using the CSS Color Module Level 4
|
||||
gamut mapping algorithm:
|
||||
|
||||
- Preserves the original lightness and hue as much as possible
|
||||
- Reduces chroma (saturation) until the color fits within the displayable range
|
||||
- Uses perceptual color difference (deltaE OK) to minimize visible changes
|
||||
- Maximizes color saturation while staying in gamut
|
||||
|
||||
This ensures that wide gamut colors gracefully degrade on standard sRGB displays while
|
||||
taking full advantage of wide gamut displays when available. The mapping happens
|
||||
automatically - you don't need to do anything special.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, :code:`oklch(0.7 0.4 25)` might be too saturated for sRGB but will be
|
||||
automatically adjusted to fit while preserving the perceived hue and lightness.
