Description
As noted in https://github.com/oddbird/oddcontrast/pull/137#pullrequestreview-1744885729 - some color formats are being clipped or mapped by ColorJS. That might change in a new release, but hex cannot represent out-of-gamut colors, so will continue to be clipped or mapped. We should find a way to convey that to users when it happens.

Research direction
Start with the discussion in pull request 137 and trace how output formats are handled around ColorJS conversions. Determine where clipping or gamut mapping occurs, then define how users should be informed, including for out-of-gamut colors represented as hex. Done means the behavior is consistently communicated to users.
