> As an aside, we should also probably think about exactly what behavior we _do_ want between a double-position stop like that. Double-position stops were added to make it easy to generate solid-color strips in a gradient without having to repeat your color; I suspect that people might expect that to remain true even if they're doing longer-hue interpolation otherwise. Hmm, yes, I suppose that might take people by surprise. The [spec text](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-images-4/#color-stop-syntax) currently says that: > A [color stop](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-images-4/#color-stop) with two positions is equivalent to specifying two color stops with the same color, one for each position. which means that `linear-gradient(in hsl longer hue, red 0% 100%)` should be exactly equivalent to `linear-gradient(in hsl longer hue, red 0%, red 100%)` (or indeed to `linear-gradient(in hsl longer hue, red, red)`). I'd be a bit reluctant to break that equivalence by giving a "double-position stop" some kind of special handling, distinct from two separately-defined stops with the same color. The spec goes on to mention that: > Specifying two locations makes it easier to create solid-color "stripes" in a gradient, without having to repeat the color twice. Perhaps a note should be added here clarifying that _this does not apply to `longer hue` gradients_, because it is inherent in longer-hue gradients that between one stop and a following stop of the same color, there will be a complete "cycle" of color rather than a band of solid color. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jfkthame Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11381#issuecomment-2656000498 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
