color-interpolation-filters

The color-interpolation-filters CSS property specifies the color space for imaging operations performed via SVG filter effects. If explicitly declared, the value of the CSS property overrides any value given in the element's color-interpolation-filters attribute.

Note: The color-interpolation-filters property is only relevant to SVG filter operations. It has no effect on filter primitives like <feOffset>, <feImage>, <feTile>, and <feFlood>, but instead applies to the various filter effect elements (e.g., <feBlend>); see the SVG color-interpolation-filters page for a full list.

Note: It is important to remember that the SVG color-interpolation attribute has an initial value of sRGB, while color-interpolation-filters has an initial value of linearRGB. This means, in the default case, filter effect interpolations occur in a different color space than all other color interpolations.

Syntax

css

color-interpolation-filters: auto;
color-interpolation-filters: linearRGB;
color-interpolation-filters: sRGB;

/* Global values */
color-interpolation-filters: inherit;
color-interpolation-filters: initial;
color-interpolation-filters: revert;
color-interpolation-filters: revert-layer;
color-interpolation-filters: unset;

Values

linearRGB: Indicates that color interpolation should occur in the linearized RGB color space as described in the sRGB specification. This is the default property value.
sRGB: Indicates that color interpolation should occur in the gamma-encoded sRGB color space.
auto: Indicates that the user agent can choose either the sRGB or linearRGB spaces for color interpolation. This option indicates that the author doesn't require that color interpolation occur in a particular color space.
