Re: [csswg-drafts] Remove ICC named color profiles (#6095)

Yes, sorry and thanks for your [impressive efforts here](https://test.csswg.org/harness/results/css-color-4_dev/grouped/).

> the current syntax is limiting in that it doesn't allow you to specify how much of this special color you want - I can specify a CMYK color with 50% cyan, but the syntax means I can't specify a color that's 50% "Pantone Reflex Blue"

Part of that is getting into [Separation / DeviceN color support](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2023) but yes, if we have a way to colorimetrically specify a named color, then we also need a way to mix it with other colors (including white, to get a tint). I hope [`color-mix()`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-5/#color-mix) can help there.

Without knowing things like the dot gain, screening pattern, etc we can't know what measured color `50% "Pantone Reflex Blue"` corresponds to.
