Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-5] How should negative percentages behave in color-mix()? (#6047)

> I don't see how these experiments are relevant to our question.

Isn't the question whether humans have trouble mixing colors with negative coefficients? If not, what's our question?

> `color-mix(rgb, rgb(240 0 240), rgb(230 0 0) -20%)` gives a result that is _more red_ than either argument. (After clamping, the result is just `rgb(242 0 255)`.) You're not "removing" red at all.

`rgb(242, 0, 255)` is not "more red" than `rgb(240, 0, 240)`, you're just looking at the red coordinate and ignoring the others. The actual hue is indeed less red: 300 for `rgb(240, 0, 240)` and 297 for `rgb(242, 0, 255)`.
