Summary

This PR addresses the deprecation warning for Color in FastAPI when using Pydantic v2 while maintaining backward compatibility with Pydantic v1.

Previously, fastapi/encoders.py imported Color directly from pydantic.color, which is deprecated in Pydantic v2, leading to warnings for users upgrading.

This change ensures that the correct Color class is used depending on the installed Pydantic version.

Changes

• Conditional import of Color:

  try:
      # Pydantic v2
      from pydantic_extra_types.color import Color
  except ImportError:
      # Fallback for Pydantic v1
      from pydantic.color import Color
  

No other functionality is altered.

Fully backward-compatible with both Pydantic v1 and v2.

Checklist

I have verified that the change fixes the deprecation warning.
Code follows existing FastAPI style and conventions.
Tests pass for Pydantic v2.
Tests pass for Pydantic v1.
No breaking changes introduced for either Pydantic version.
Documentation updated if necessary (none needed for this fix).

Testing

Environment 1 – Pydantic v2 (current default)
pytest tests/test_jsonable_encoder.py -v
21 tests collected
18 passed, 3 skipped (v1-specific tests)

Environment 2 – Pydantic v1
pip install "pydantic<2.0"
pytest tests/test_jsonable_encoder.py -v
21 tests collected
17 passed, 4 skipped (v2-specific tests)

Results: ✅ All relevant tests pass in both environments. Only version-specific tests are skipped, as expected.

Motivation

Remove Pydantic v2 deprecation warnings.
Maintain backward compatibility with Pydantic v1.
Ensure smooth user experience for projects upgrading to Pydantic v2.
