Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] What if legacy colors *also* interpolated in Oklab by default? (#7948)

@fserb could yo confirm whether your backwards-compat concern was "we can't change to `oklab` to interpolate legacy" and not "we can't change to `srgb-linear` to interpolate legacy" because, as @LeaVerou pointed out, those are very different. I agree that interpolating in `srgb-linear` (which would be tempting if your colors are stored like that internally) would be a non-starter because it is very perceptually non-linear. While `srgb` and `oklab` are much more comparable, with `srgb` tending to be darker and a bit less saturated at the midpoint.
