Input/Output

The CAM16 LCD space is not currently supported in the CSS spec, the parsed input and string output formats use the color() function format using the custom name --cam16-lcd:

color(--cam16-lcd j a b / a)  // Color function

The string representation of the color object and the default string output use the color(--cam16-lcd j a b / a) form.

>>> Color("cam16-lcd", [46.026, 81.254, 27.393], 1)
color(--cam16-lcd 46.026 81.254 27.393 / 1)
>>> Color("cam16-lcd", [68.056, 43.51, 71.293], 1).to_string()
'color(--cam16-lcd 68.056 43.51 71.293)'
