Closes #26446
Major correction: Clipping does not affect masked values
This can be seen in the following code, where the mask is reapplied
matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/colors.py
Lines 1936 to 1939 in f800bf6
This code has been unmodified since 2016 and has been the same even before. I therefore believe it's better to just adapt the documentation to the existing behavior.
Other changes
Better explanation of the returned values for "outside" inputs and their interplay with colormaps.
