Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] is it practical to help building and grounds maintenance occupations match paint color? (#10269)

Your suggestion a couple of years ago, if I understood, was to help facilitate custom color spaces. If there was a space with paint color codes, I would investigate applying some of those colors. Maybe selecting an existing HTML color name that is closest to the color  (https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-names/) is practical for now, and could avoid more work? Other color spaces (standards) were observed such as sRGB, paint color cards at a paint pro’s store, local home improvement store, SAE-AMS-STD-595 Colors Used in Government Procurement, etc. Your suggestion might facilitate the colors for those groups, but exceeds my scope to say.

A color conversion algorithm (procedure) is an internal detail if custom color matching becomes necessary (HTML color names don’t succeed). If the paint pros are members of the W3C or CSS working groups, maybe they would be best to describe their special equipment, processing algorithms, and color codes. I estimate they are not currently reporting CSS codes, but this exceeds my scope too.

I assumed the color module scope included W3C noob, but could be wrong. Noob involvement could just include warning/caution if they should or should not attempt a paint application. This was unclear with all the apps available to install and websites which allowed color selection.
