Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Channel clipping breaks author expectations, especially when using 'perceptually uniform' spaces (#9449)

For those who haven't been able to look at ccameron-chromium's demo showing the brilliant magenta, I can't express how vivid but yet bright the color is. The picture doesn't do it justice, and that is my entire point. There is no way to convey how light and yet how colorful the color is with a picture in the sRGB gamut or Display P3 gamut. That is why I state you have to choose what is most important to convey. People will be surprised either way. If you preserve colorfulness, one day they will be surprised by the lightness, If you preserve lightness, one day they will be surprised by how vivid the color is.

 Is the colorfulness more important or the lightness? That seems to be the question. I'm simply arguing that the lightness is more important as it will affect contrast far less, and I _think_ that is what was sold to CSS users and what they desire.
