Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Should the color() function accept 'lab' as a color gamut keyword (#4649)

Yes, although partly that is because the examples have been using colors like `red` and `yellow` which are maximally saturated and thus right up against the corners of the RGB color cube. So even a small adjustment tends to push them outside the gamut. More normal real-world colors are less likely to fall outside of gamut when manipulated.

It would, although gamut mapping to the closest in-gamut color is a more foolbroof and automatic method.

I have been wondering too about another function which takes a list of colors plus a colorspace, and returns the set of colors all adjusted together such that the most out of gamut color is *just* inside (and the rest are adjusted too, so their relative relationships are intact).
