The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.

What else does colormatic-3.1.1+mc.1.18.2.jar need?
colormatic-3.1.1+mc.1.18.2.jar on 1.18.2 Fabric. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Colormatic add?

Colormatic is an independent implementation that is resource-pack-compatible with the original Custom Colors mod for Minecraft on Fabric. It is fully compatible with resource packs that use Optifine's custom colors feature. Colormatic sports almost all features of the original Custom Colors mod and adds a few of its own. Features include
- Biome colormaps for water, foliage, underwater, underlava, sky, and fog
- Custom biome colormaps for any block
- Custom lightmaps for any dimension (including datapack dimensions)
- Custom dye colors
- Custom chat colors
Colormatic supports loading resource packs with Optifine custom colors files as-is. It also supports (and prefers) loading equivalent json format files from the colormatic namespace.
Note: Colormatic does not itself add any custom colors to Minecraft. It simply provides the capability for resource packs to add custom colors.
