PostCSS Color Function

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

.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:

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

Use it as a PostCSS plugin:

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:

Options

preserve

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

postcssColorFunction({ preserve: true })

.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.

postcssColorFunction({ enableProgressiveCustomProperties: false })

.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
