Intent to prototype and ship: Additional CSS Color (level 4) functions
Tiaan Louw
Around the last week of March 2023, I intend to turn the new [color-4] additions on by default on all platforms. It has been developed behind the “layout.css.more_color_4.enabled” preference.
Summary: New color functionality was added to the CSS color specification (level 4) that will be very useful to developers. They include new color types, lab(), lch(), oklab() and oklch(). Also some new color spaces were introduced through the color() function, namely srgb (equivalent to the existing rgb/rgba() functions), srgb-linear, display-p3, a98-rgb, prophoto-rgb, rec2020. Color can also be specified in the XYZ color format through the color() function. Some additional features like support for the “none” keyword is now also supported.
