CSS Color Module Level 3

Abstract

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a language for describing the rendering of HTML and XML documents on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. It uses color-related properties and values to color the text, backgrounds, borders, and other parts of elements in a document. This specification describes color values and properties for foreground color and group opacity. These include properties and values from CSS level 2 and new values.

1. Introduction

CSS beyond level 2 is a set of modules, divided up to allow the specifications to develop incrementally, along with their implementations. This specification is one of those modules.

This module describes CSS properties which allow authors to specify the foreground color and opacity of an element. This module also describes in detail the CSS <color> value type.

It not only defines the color-related properties and values that already exist in CSS1 and CSS2, but also defines new properties and values.

The Working Group doesn't expect that all implementations of CSS3 will implement all properties or values. Instead, there will probably be a small number of variants of CSS3, so-called "profiles". For example, it may be that only the profile for 32-bit color user agents will include all of the proposed color-related properties and values.

The specification is the result of the merging of relevant parts of the following Recommendations and Working Drafts, and the addition of some new features.

• HTML 4.01 [HTML401]
• CSS 2.0 [CSS2]
• SVG 1.0 [SVG10]
• User Interface for CSS3 (16 February 2000) [CSS3UI]

2. Dependencies

Additional terminology is defined in the Definitions section of [CSS21]. Examples of document source code and fragments are given in XML [XML10] or HTML [HTML401] syntax.

3. Color properties

3.1. Foreground color: the ‘color’ property

This property describes the foreground color of an element's text content. In addition it is used to provide a potential indirect value (currentColor) for any other properties that accept color values. If the ‘currentColor’ keyword is set on the ‘color’ property itself, it is treated as ‘color: inherit’.

There are different ways to specify lime green:

em { color: lime }               /* color keyword */
em { color: rgb(0,255,0) }       /* RGB range 0-255   */

<color>

Color units are defined in a following section.

3.2. Transparency: the ‘opacity’ property

Opacity can be thought of as a postprocessing operation. Conceptually, after the element (including its descendants) is rendered into an RGBA offscreen image, the opacity setting specifies how to blend the offscreen rendering into the current composite rendering. See simple alpha compositing for details.

<alphavalue>

Syntactically a <number>. The uniform opacity setting to be applied across an entire object. Any values outside the range 0.0 (fully transparent) to 1.0 (fully opaque) will be clamped to this range. If the object is a container element, then the effect is as if the contents of the container element were blended against the current background using a mask where the value of each pixel of the mask is <alphavalue>.

Since an element with opacity less than 1 is composited from a single offscreen image, content outside of it cannot be layered in z-order between pieces of content inside of it. For the same reason, implementations must create a new stacking context for any element with opacity less than 1. If an element with opacity less than 1 is not positioned, implementations must paint the layer it creates, within its parent stacking context, at the same stacking order that would be used if it were a positioned element with ‘z-index: 0’ and ‘opacity: 1’. If an element with opacity less than 1 is positioned, the ‘z-index’ property applies as described in [CSS21], except that ‘auto’ is treated as ‘0’ since a new stacking context is always created. See section 9.9 and Appendix E of [CSS21] for more information on stacking contexts. The rules in this paragraph do not apply to SVG elements, since SVG has its own rendering model ([SVG11], Chapter 3).

4. Color units

A <color> is either a keyword or a numerical specification.

4.1. Basic color keywords

The list of basic color keywords is: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow. The color names are case-insensitive.

body {color: black; background: white }
h1 { color: maroon }
h2 { color: olive }

4.2. Numerical color values

4.2.1. RGB color values

The RGB color model is used in numerical color specifications. These examples all specify the same color:

em { color: #f00 }              /* #rgb */
em { color: #ff0000 }           /* #rrggbb */
em { color: rgb(255,0,0) }
em { color: rgb(100%, 0%, 0%) }

The format of an RGB value in hexadecimal notation is a ‘#’ immediately followed by either three or six hexadecimal characters. The three-digit RGB notation (#rgb) is converted into six-digit form (#rrggbb) by replicating digits, not by adding zeros. For example, #fb0 expands to #ffbb00. This ensures that white (#ffffff) can be specified with the short notation (#fff) and removes any dependencies on the color depth of the display.

The format of an RGB value in the functional notation is ‘rgb(’ followed by a comma-separated list of three numerical values (either three integer values or three percentage values) followed by ‘)’. The integer value 255 corresponds to 100%, and to F or FF in the hexadecimal notation: rgb(255,255,255) = rgb(100%,100%,100%) = #FFF. White space characters are allowed around the numerical values.

All RGB colors are specified in the sRGB color space (see [SRGB]). User agents may vary in the fidelity with which they represent these colors, but using sRGB provides an unambiguous and objectively measurable definition of what the color should be, which can be related to international standards (see [COLORIMETRY]).

Values outside the device gamut should be clipped or mapped into the gamut when the gamut is known: the red, green, and blue values must be changed to fall within the range supported by the device. User agents may perform higher quality mapping of colors from one gamut to another. This specification does not define precise clipping behavior. For a typical CRT monitor, whose device gamut is the same as sRGB, the four rules below are equivalent:

em { color: rgb(255,0,0) }       /* integer range 0 - 255 */
em { color: rgb(300,0,0) }       /* clipped to rgb(255,0,0) */
em { color: rgb(255,-10,0) }     /* clipped to rgb(255,0,0) */
em { color: rgb(110%, 0%, 0%) }  /* clipped to rgb(100%,0%,0%) */

Other devices, such as printers, have different gamuts than sRGB; some colors outside the 0..255 sRGB range will be representable (inside the device gamut), while other colors inside the 0..255 sRGB range will be outside the device gamut and will thus be mapped.

4.2.2. RGBA color values

The RGB color model is extended in this specification to include “alpha” to allow specification of the opacity of a color. See simple alpha compositing for details. These examples all specify the same color:

em { color: rgb(255,0,0) }      /* integer range 0 - 255 */
em { color: rgba(255,0,0,1)     /* the same, with explicit opacity of 1 */
em { color: rgb(100%,0%,0%) }   /* float range 0.0% - 100.0% */
em { color: rgba(100%,0%,0%,1) } /* the same, with explicit opacity of 1 */

Unlike RGB values, there is no hexadecimal notation for an RGBA value.

The format of an RGBA value in the functional notation is ‘rgba(’ followed by a comma-separated list of three numerical values (either three integer values or three percentage values), followed by an <alphavalue>, followed by ‘)’. The integer value 255 corresponds to 100%, rgba(255,255,255,0.8) = rgba(100%,100%,100%,0.8). White space characters are allowed around the numerical values.

Implementations must clip the red, green, and blue components of RGBA color values to the device gamut according to the rules for the RGB color value composed of those components.

These examples specify effects that are possible with the rgba() notation:

p { color: rgba(0,0,255,0.5) }        /* semi-transparent solid blue */
p { color: rgba(100%, 50%, 0%, 0.1) } /* very transparent solid orange */

Note. If RGBA values are not supported by a user agent, they should be treated like unrecognized values per the CSS forward compatibility parsing rules ([CSS21], Chapter 4). RGBA values must not be treated as simply an RGB value with the opacity ignored.

4.2.3. ‘transparent’ color keyword

CSS1 introduced the ‘transparent’ value for the background-color property. CSS2 allowed border-color to also accept the ‘transparent’ value. The Open eBook(tm) Publication Structure 1.0.1 [OEB101] extended the ‘color’ property to also accept the ‘transparent’ keyword. CSS3 extends the color value to include the ‘transparent’ keyword to allow its use with all properties that accept a <color> value. This simplifies the definition of those properties in CSS3.

transparent

Fully transparent. This keyword can be considered a shorthand for transparent black, rgba(0,0,0,0), which is its computed value.

4.2.4. HSL color values

CSS3 adds numerical hue-saturation-lightness (HSL) colors as a complement to numerical RGB colors. It has been observed that RGB colors have the following limitations:

• RGB is hardware-oriented: it reflects the use of CRTs.
• RGB is non-intuitive. People can learn how to use RGB, but actually by internalizing how to translate hue, saturation and lightness, or something similar, to RGB.

There are several other color schemes possible. Some advantages of HSL are that it is symmetrical to lightness and darkness (which is not the case with HSV for example), and it is trivial to convert HSL to RGB.

HSL colors are encoding as a triple (hue, saturation, lightness). Hue is represented as an angle of the color circle (i.e. the rainbow represented in a circle). This angle is so typically measured in degrees that the unit is implicit in CSS; syntactically, only a <number> is given. By definition red=0=360, and the other colors are spread around the circle, so green=120, blue=240, etc. As an angle, it implicitly wraps around such that -120=240 and 480=120. One way an implementation could normalize such an angle x to the range [0,360) (i.e. zero degrees, inclusive, to 360 degrees, exclusive) is to compute (((x mod 360) + 360) mod 360). Saturation and lightness are represented as percentages. 100% is full saturation, and 0% is a shade of gray. 0% lightness is black, 100% lightness is white, and 50% lightness is “normal”.

So for instance:

* { color: hsl(0, 100%, 50%) }   /* red */
* { color: hsl(120, 100%, 50%) } /* lime */ 
* { color: hsl(120, 100%, 25%) } /* dark green */ 
* { color: hsl(120, 100%, 75%) } /* light green */ 
* { color: hsl(120, 75%, 75%) }  /* pastel green, and so on */

The advantage of HSL over RGB is that it is far more intuitive: you can guess at the colors you want, and then tweak. It is also easier to create sets of matching colors (by keeping the hue the same and varying the lightness/darkness, and saturation)

If saturation is less than 0%, implementations must clip it to 0%. If the resulting value is outside the device gamut, implementations must clip it to the device gamut. This clipping should preserve the hue when possible, but is otherwise undefined. (In other words, the clipping is different from applying the rules for clipping of RGB colors after applying the algorithm below for converting HSL to RGB.)

The algorithm to translate HSL to RGB is simple (here expressed in ABC [ABC] which was used to generate the tables.) In these algorithms, all three values (H, S and L) have been normalized to fractions 0..1:

    HOW TO RETURN hsl.to.rgb(h, s, l): 
       SELECT: 
	  l<=0.5: PUT l*(s+1) IN m2
	  ELSE: PUT l+s-l*s IN m2
       PUT l*2-m2 IN m1
       PUT hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h+1/3) IN r
       PUT hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h    ) IN g
       PUT hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h-1/3) IN b
       RETURN (r, g, b)

    HOW TO RETURN hue.to.rgb(m1, m2, h): 
       IF h<0: PUT h+1 IN h
       IF h>1: PUT h-1 IN h
       IF h*6<1: RETURN m1+(m2-m1)*h*6
       IF h*2<1: RETURN m2
       IF h*3<2: RETURN m1+(m2-m1)*(2/3-h)*6
       RETURN m1

4.2.4.1. HSL examples

Each table below represents one hue. Twelve equally spaced colors (i.e. at 30° intervals) have been chosen from the color circle: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, with all the intermediate colors (the last is the color between magenta and red).

The X axis of each table represents the saturation (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0%).

The Y axis represents the lightness. 50% is “normal”.

4.2.5. HSLA color values

Just as the ‘rgb()’ functional notation has the ‘rgba()’ alpha counterpart, the ‘hsl()’ functional notation has the ‘hsla()’ alpha counterpart. See simple alpha compositing for details. These examples specify the same color:

em { color: hsl(120, 100%, 50%) }     /* green */
em { color: hsla(120, 100%, 50%, 1) } /* the same, with explicit opacity of 1 */

The format of an HSLA color value in the functional notation is ‘hsla(’ followed by the hue in degrees, saturation and lightness as a percentage, and an <alphavalue>, followed by ‘)’. White space characters are allowed around the numerical values.

Implementations must clip the hue, saturation, and lightness components of HSLA color values to the device gamut according to the rules for the HSL color value composed of those components.

These examples specify effects that are possible with the hsla() notation:

p { color: hsla(240, 100%, 50%, 0.5) } /* semi-transparent solid blue */
p { color: hsla(30, 100%, 50%, 0.1) }  /* very transparent solid orange */

4.3. Extended color keywords

The table below provides a list of the X11 colors [X11COLORS] supported by popular browsers with the addition of gray/grey variants from SVG 1.0. The resulting list is precisely the same as the SVG 1.0 color keyword names. This specification extends their definition beyond SVG. The two color swatches on the left illustrate setting the background color of a table cell in two ways: The first column uses the named color value, and the second column uses the respective numeric color value.

4.4. ‘currentColor’ color keyword

CSS1 and CSS2 defined the initial value of the ‘border-color’ property to be the value of the ‘color’ property but did not define a corresponding keyword. This omission was recognized by SVG, and thus SVG 1.0 introduced the ‘currentColor’ value for the ‘fill’, ‘stroke’, ‘stop-color’, ‘flood-color’, and ‘lighting-color’ properties. CSS3 extends the color value to include the ‘currentColor’ keyword to allow its use with all properties that accept a <color> value. This simplifies the definition of those properties in CSS3.

currentColor

The value of the ‘color’ property. The computed value of the ‘currentColor’ keyword is the computed value of the ‘color’ property. If the ‘currentColor’ keyword is set on the ‘color’ property itself, it is treated as ‘color: inherit’.

4.5. CSS system colors

4.5.1. CSS2 system colors

Deprecated. In addition to being able to assign color keyword values to text, backgrounds, etc., CSS2 allowed authors to specify colors in a manner that integrated them into the user's graphic environment.

For systems that do not have a corresponding value, the specified value should be mapped to the nearest system color value, or to a default color. Note that some profiles of CSS may not support System Colors at all.

The following lists additional values for color-related CSS values and their general meaning. Any color property can take one of the following names. Although these are case-insensitive, it is recommended that the mixed capitalization shown below be used, to make the names more legible.

ActiveBorder

Active window border.

Note. The CSS2 System Color values have been deprecated in favor of the CSS3 UI ‘appearance’ property. If you want to emulate the look of a user interface related element or control, please use the ‘appearance’ property instead of attempting to mimic a user interface element through a combination of system colors.

4.6. Notes on using colors

Although colors can add significant amounts of information to document and make them more readable, please consider the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines [WCAG20] when including color in your documents.

• 1.4.1 Use of Color: Color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element

5. Simple alpha compositing

When drawing, implementations must handle alpha according to the rules in Section 14.2 Simple alpha compositing of [SVG11]. (If the ‘color-interpolation’ or ‘color-rendering’ properties mentioned in that section are not implemented or do not apply, implementations must act as though they have their initial values.)

6. Sample style sheet for (X)HTML

This appendix is informative, not normative. This style sheet could be used by an implementation as part of its default styling of HTML4, XHTML1, XHTML1.1, XHTML Basic, and other XHTML Family documents.

html { 
	color: black;
	background: white;
}


/* traditional desktop user agent colors for hyperlinks */
:link    { color: blue; }   
:visited { color: purple; }

/* default focus outline */
:focus {
	outline: 1px dotted;  /* or 1px dotted invert */
}

7. Profiles

Each specification using CSS3 Color must define the subset of CSS3 Color features it allows and excludes, and describe the local meaning of all the components of that subset.

Non normative examples:

8. Test suite

A CSS Color Module Test Suite has been developed, although further tests may be added. This test suite is intended to allow user agents to verify their basic conformance to the specification. This test suite does not pretend to be exhaustive and does not cover all possible numerical color values. These tests are available at http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/#css3-color.

9. Call for Implementations of dropped features

A number of features that were present in the 14 May 2003 Candidate Recommendation are no longer present in this specification. However, the call for implementations for these features remains, and they may be included in a future level of this specification given sufficient implementations and a test suite to demonstrate interoperability. These features are:

• ICC Color Profile: the ‘color-profile’ property
• The ‘rendering-intent’ property
• The ‘@color-profile’ at-rule
• ‘flavor’ system color

11. Changes

This document differs from the previous, 21 July 2008, Last Call document. In response to comments received, the old section 3.1.1 Gamma correction which was out of date and misleading, has been dropped. An index was added. SVG color keywords were renamed to Extended color keywords, and HTML4 color keywords renamed to Basic color keywords. The phrase ‘predefined colors’ is no longer used. The references have been updated. The description of the currentColor keyword is improved. A number of spelling and grammatical errors have been removed and there have been some improvements to the markup. Lastly, this changes appendix was added.

For a fuller description of the changes and the reasons they were made, please see the Disposition of Comments.
