Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Allow out-of-gamut HSL/HWB colors (previously "Move gamut mapping to a future spec") (#8444)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-color-4] Allow out-of-gamut HSL/HWB colors (previously "Move gamut mapping to a future spec")`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: allow out-of-gamut HSL and HWB colors`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;chris> q+<br>
&lt;emeyer> chris: In the course of discussion about whether we shoudl do gamma mapping, it turns out to be observable through script in one case<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack chris<br>
&lt;emeyer> …That’s when you convert to HSL or HWB<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> s/gamma/gamut/<br>
&lt;emeyer> …That’s not very helpful; worry is out-of-gamut colors could return unusual results when converting<br>
&lt;emeyer> …Proposal is that colors should be round-tripped<br>
&lt;emeyer> …You’ll get weird HSL values but it’s okay because that’s what you asked for<br>
&lt;emeyer> …HSL and HWB are lossy<br>
&lt;emeyer> …I’m in favor of the proposal, but been waiting for implementor input<br>
&lt;emeyer> Rossen: Any implementors here who want to provide input?<br>
&lt;emeyer> emilio: I need to look more carefully<br>
&lt;emeyer> Rossen: Are you opposed?<br>
&lt;emeyer> emilio: Not particularly<br>
&lt;emeyer> Rossen: This doesn’t sound like it’s raising an initial strong reaction<br>
&lt;emeyer> emilio: I’d be fine resolving and I can come back if there’s a problem<br>
&lt;emeyer> chris: proposal is to allow out-of-gamut HSL and HWB colors<br>
&lt;emeyer> Rossen: objections?<br>
&lt;emeyer> (silence)<br>
&lt;emeyer> RESOLVED: allow out-of-gamut HSL and HWB colors<br>
