Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited support for advanced color models

   Does not natively support more complex color spaces like Lab or XYZ, limiting its use in specialized applications.

2. 02

   Documentation lacks depth and examples

   The documentation is brief and may not cover all edge cases or advanced usage scenarios, which can be confusing for new users.

3. 03

   Performance issues with large-scale color operations

   Processing a high volume of colors simultaneously can lead to performance bottlenecks, especially in resource-constrained environments.

What it does well
