sepia()

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2016.

The sepia() CSS function converts the input image to sepia, giving it a warmer, more yellow/brown appearance. Its result is a <filter-function>.
