## Summary

This release updates `package:material_color_utilities` from
`v0.11.1` to `0.13.0`.
This updated package includes algorithm changes that
align with the [Material 3 tokens update][].

The algorithm changes affect the same properties:

* `onPrimaryContainer`
* `onSecondaryContainer`
* `onTertiaryContainer`
* `onErrorContainer`

The changes will be reflected when generating a scheme using

* `ColorScheme.fromSeed`
* `ColorScheme.fromImageProvider`
* `ThemeData(colorScheme:..)`

[Material 3 tokens update]: /release/breaking-changes/material-design-3-token-update

## Migration guide

In general, we believe the colors generated will be more legible and visually
appealing, but if you want to maintain the previous colors when upgrading,
you will have to manually set those properties to their desired color after
generating.

## Timeline

Landed in version: 3.39.0-1.0.pre-250<br>
In stable release: 3.41
