> Yeah it's probably worth defining the concept of "absolute-color" or something in prose. Just to close this one off, we [have such a definition](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-5/#color-syntax): > An absolute color is a [<color>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-5/#typedef-color) whose computed value has an absolute, colorimetric interpretation. This means that the value is not: > > [currentColor](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#valdef-color-currentcolor) (which depends on the value of the [color](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#propdef-color) property) > > - a [<system-color>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#typedef-system-color) (which depends on the color mode) > - [<light-dark()>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-5/#funcdef-light-dark) (which depends on the color mode) > - [<contrast-color()>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-5/#funcdef-contrast-color) (which depends on the color mode) > - [<device-cmyk()>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-5/#funcdef-device-cmyk) (which has no colorimetric basis) > > Nor are any of those values used inside [<color-mix()>](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-5/#funcdef-color-mix) or in relative color syntax. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7561#issuecomment-3152368484 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
