🌸 NAME 🌸

al_is_color_valid — Allegro 5 API 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_color.h>

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Bestie, this function is the ultimate vibe check for a color 👑 — it checks whether all components of the color are between 0 and 1. That's it. That's the whole job. no cap.

But why do we even need it, you ask? 🧐 Because some of the color conversions in this addon support color spaces with more colors than can be represented in sRGB 🌈, and when those get converted to RGB, you end up with invalid color components sitting outside the 0..1 range 😭💀. so like… yeah. the math said what it said and now something's out of bounds. ask al_is_color_valid before you trust it and save yourself the heartbreak 🫶.
