Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Do gradients/animations using lab/lch colors interpolate in the Lab colorspace? (#4647)

> Could you give an example where blending in another space than Lab is better? I can only think of blending in LCH.

That's a good question. PDF to the rescue.

That's an export from Acrobat, so it's obviously sRGB and I've got no control over how the colors were shifted, but it's a reasonable representation. Original PDF is [blend.pdf](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/files/4030199/blend.pdf)

The first blend is between two largely in-gamut print colors, the second is the case we're specifically talking about here: a color which is out of gamut in sRGB on the left, a color which is in-gamut in sRGB on the right.

So to answer your question Chris: No, no I can't. The Lab blend is clearly superior in this case.
