Input/Output

Linear ProPhoto is not supported via the CSS spec and the parser input and string output only supports the color() function format using the custom name --prophoto-rgb-linear:

color(--prophoto-rgb-linear r g b / 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("prophoto-rgb-linear", [0, 0, 0], 1)

The string representation of the color object and the default string output will be in the color(--prophoto-rgb-linear r g b / a) form.

>>> Color("prophoto-rgb-linear", [0.52928, 0.09837, 0.01688])
color(--prophoto-rgb-linear 0.52928 0.09837 0.01688 / 1)
>>> Color("prophoto-rgb-linear", [0.6535, 0.42702, 0.06115]).to_string()
'color(--prophoto-rgb-linear 0.6535 0.42702 0.06115)'
