[css3-mediaqueries] color-index feature interaction with color feature

Media Queries - 6 June 2007


Does "color-index" have a zero value unless a lookup table is used?


Example:

My display is a 32bpp colour.  Each pixel is defined by a single 32-bit
value, containing 8 bits each of red, green, blue and transparency.  There
is no indirection through a lookup table.

Therefore, the value of the "color" feature is 8, clearly.

But what about "color-index"?  Does it apply to this type of display device?
Should its value be treated as 0 or 4294967296?
