Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Achromatic colors converted to hue-ish spaces should treat hue as "missing", not NaN (#6107)

> Are all the values above 100% "white", just extra-bright? Or can they still have a meaningful hue/chroma?

In theory they can be any color in an HDR context, whose lightness is greater than media white. In practice people rarely use Lab for HDR, outside academic studies.

> Also, I don't think device-cmyk() ever has powerless components, right? Even if k is 100%, the other three components can still have an effect on making it black "warm" or "cool", right?

Yes, making it warmer or cooler or (more usually) a deeper black than just K=100% would give you. This is called TAC (Total Area Coverage) and can go up to 300%, or even more on heavier papers.

> (The terrible naive conversion ignores the other components when k is 100%, but I think real conversions don't, right?

Right.
