Re: [csswg-drafts] Don't force non-legacy colors to interpolate in a gamma-encoded space (#5883)

I do agree that *most* compositing is *usually* best in a linearized space.

BUT..... LAB is not a linear light space, and I know you know LAB and LUV are perceptual, so not sure which space was actually meant?

In Film/TV **LUV** or a variant is commonly used, at least "in the guts" of color grading gear. **LAB** is better suited to reflected colors. I don't remember any time where I used either for compositing though, only for adjusting/grading.

In film/TV typically we linearize RGB. In particular, when possible we linearize the destination or delivery workspace, then the only transform needed on output is applying the transfer curve.

Here's a GIST comparing LAB and LUV:
