That might not be what is wanted however. I can think of two other options: `color-mix(appropriate-system-color, specified-color a(100%) srgb)` That will mix in the (gamma corrected, i.e. non-linear-light) sRGB colorspace, which is what the current implementations do when mixing colors. It gives the wrong (too dark) result but is compatible with lots of software which also does it the wrong way :) It is also constrained to the sRGB gamut, which is temporarily fine but won't be over time as some system colors may be specified in, for example, `display-p3`. `color-mix(appropriate-system-color, specified-color a(100%) xyz)` That will get you linear-light mixing, _ie_ the correct result for the physical mixture of two lights, and avoids gamut mapping. It gives the same result as mixing in linear-light sRGB, except without the gamut limitation. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4915#issuecomment-647002741 using your GitHub account
