I disagree. Technically, yes, dynamic range could apply to any quantity: from sound amplitude, to voltage of an electric signal, to frequency of an electromagnetic wave… But css-speech non withstanding, CSS is largely a visual medium. And when speaking of visual things, there's very little ambiguity about what dynamic range refers to. Whether it's camera specifications, TV sales brochures, modes in the camera app on everyone's phone, the characteristics of camera film, printing… everybody just talks about (high) dynamic range, without "color" or any similar qualifier. And if you wanted to really disambiguate, "color" is still too vague, as colors are a bundle of multiple quantities, and arguably, wide gamut could be described as high _chromaticity_ dynamic range, and that's not what we're talking about here. So if we do want to disambiguate, we ought to go with brightness (or lightness) dynamic range. Not only is it non ambiguous in practice, it's also very discoverable, because (unqualified) dynamic range is the terminology everybody uses to talk about this matter. So I don't think additional qualifiers would help. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9957#issuecomment-1944384738 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
