About Display P3 and LCH

Display P3 is the wide color gamut of modern Apple screens and many phones. It reaches about 25% more colors than sRGB and is written as color(display-p3 r g b).

CIE LCH is Lab in polar form: lightness, chroma and hue. It is easier to reason about than Lab and is supported in CSS as lch().

How the conversion works

We read the Display P3 value, convert it to CIE XYZ with the matrices from the CSS Color 4 specification and then into LCH. Values outside the target gamut are mapped by the CSS Color 4 algorithm, which keeps lightness and hue and reduces chroma.

Is the Display P3 to LCH conversion exact?

The math is exact and the result is rounded only for display, with enough digits to convert back to the same color. If the color does not fit the target gamut, PickShade warns you and shows the nearest color that fits.
