The EyeDropper API: Pick colors from anywhere on your screen
2 projects | dev.to | 11 Nov 2021

Currently, all colors are returned in the sRGB color model. This means the API won't accurately return colors outside the sRGB spectrum, for example those on Apple's P3 screens. How to deal with this is an open issue. Work is also happening on a new Color API for the web. The EyeDropper API could use this Color API when it lands in future versions of browsers.

You can’t express a CSS colour way outside the normal range, but blending calculations are not clamped so can be used to get the colour. https://github.com/kiding/wanna-see-a-whiter-white was posted here a while ago and demonstrated the technique.
