abstracttui 0.1.0

//! Color derivation helpers for theme construction.
//!
//! The AbstractUIC `theme.css` source defines backgrounds, text tiers,
//! accents and semantic states as concrete hex values — those are ported
//! verbatim (never re-invented). Tokens the CSS expresses as *alpha washes*
//! (borders at `rgba(white, 0.12)`, selection tints, focus rings) cannot be
//! copied as-is: an alpha wash only has a color once composited over a
//! ground. These helpers perform that compositing deterministically at
//! theme-build time, producing opaque tokens that a contrast audit can
//! reason about.
//!
//! ## Perceptual honesty (documented limits)
//!
//! All mixing here is a straight sRGB-space lerp (`Rgba::lerp`). sRGB lerp
//! is not perceptually uniform: midpoints between two saturated, hue-distant
//! colors desaturate toward gray (e.g. `#e94560` -> `#60a5fa` passes through
//! a muddy violet-gray). That is acceptable for what this module does —
//! small nudges (t <= ~0.45) between a ground and an ink of the *same
//! theme*, where hue distance is modest and drift is invisible at cell
//! scale. Long decorative gradients must NOT be built by lerping endpoints;
//! they use curated intermediate stops (see `boot::identity::brand_ramp`).
//!
//! OWNER: DESIGN.
