[css-color] Non-ICC color specifications #5737
Description
color() = color( [
[<ident> | <dashed-ident>]?
[ <number-percentage>+ | <string> ]
[ / <alpha-value> ]?
]# , <color>? )The color() function as currently specified expects either a single color name or a sequence of numeric component values. This may well cover everything that is possible with ICC profiles, but it does not support systems which support multiple keywords to specify a single color, e.g. CNS very dark reddish orange, or combine letters/words and numeric amounts, e.g. NCS S 2030-Y90R ~ 20% 30% 10% yellow 90% red.
Should the syntax be relaxed a bit to support such systems in the future?
