[Question] Why does the dec version of RGB look different?

[GideonWolfe]

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something, but here's my issue.

Usually I use with config.lib.stylix.colors.withHashtag to acces ${baseXX} values required by most programs.

Sometimes I use with config.lib.stylix.colors when I need to access specific RGB values like ${baseXX-rgb-r}.

However I have seen some applications take rgb() vectors in normalized/unit form, so each component is normalized from 0 - 1 instead of 0 - 255. From my initial reading of the Stylix docs, I should be able to access these values with ${baseXX-dec-r}.

The programs seem to be accepting these values, but the issue is that the same color (ie. base00) looks different when generated via dec method.

To illustrate this, I plugged the colors generated by dec into an online color picker.

The true color should be identical to the background of the webpage, which was generated with standard withHashtag ${base00}.

PS: I'm also a bit confused about accessing other colors in the schema. I saw that you have a big refactor in your roadmap for the naming schemes, but how would I go about referencing additional colors as described here? I would like to access colors like ${bright-blue} that are generated by base16.nix but aren't exposed via stylix

Upon messing around further with the picker website, I noticed that it isn't possible to manually enter the "correct" value output by stylix... Is it a valid color value? The value

"${base00-dec-r},${base00-dec-g},${base00-dec-b}"

generates

"0.117188,0.179688,0.179688"

But the site doesn't allow me to actually plug in those numbers, and give that green instead. Other programs seem to have the same issue, for example f3d.
