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

I don't think there is a strong use case for preserving chroma over lightness for end users.

If authors want to achieve very vibrant colors they can do an extra effort to define those manually. A gamut mapping algorithm that prioritizes lightness doesn't make it impossible to have very vibrant spot colors or gradients.

A gamut mapping algorithm that prioritizes chroma does cause issues for end users, like insufficient contrast, as this issue initially described.

Switching strategies in this way would also be very problematic for the rest of css-color-4 and css-color-5. Other features depend on a gamut mapping algorithm that prioritizes lightness.

I am not saying that preserving chroma isn't interesting or that it produces unpleasing results. Only that it doesn't solve the same problem.
