ICtCp is a color space format with better perceptual uniformity than CIELab and is used as a part of the color image pipeline in video and digital photography systems for high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut (WCG) imagery. It was developed by Dolby Laboratories from the IPT color space by Ebner and Fairchild. It was designed with the intention to replace YCbCr.

Input/Output

Parsed input and string output formats support all valid CSS forms in addition to allowing the color() function format as well using the custom name --ictcp.

ictcp(i ct cp / a)          // ICtCp function
color(--ictcp i ct cp / a)  // Color function

When manually creating a color via raw data or specifying a color space as a parameter in a function, the color space name is always used:

Color("ictcp", [0, 0, 0], 1)

The string representation of the color object will always default to the color(--ictcp i ct cp / a) form, but the default string output will be the ictcp(i ct cp / a) form.

>>> Color("ictcp", [0.42788, -0.1157, 0.27873])
color(--ictcp 0.42788 -0.1157 0.27873 / 1)
>>> Color("ictcp", [0.50498, -0.20797, 0.11073]).to_string()
'ictcp(0.50498 -0.20797 0.11073)'
>>> Color("ictcp", [0.56983, -0.25169, 0.03788]).to_string(percent=True)
'ictcp(56.983% -50.338% 7.576%)'
>>> Color("ictcp", [0.39138, -0.24061, -0.04423]).to_string(color=True)
'color(--ictcp 0.39138 -0.24061 -0.04423)'
