Yes 100% — color data should be stored as floats, per channel. 16 bit per channel should be sufficient. This ensures color conversion precision as demonstrated, but also ensures precision of color when used in technology that supports higher bit depth of color. Furthermore, sRGB should not be the primary color space for storing color data. Entry and consumption of that data may be in sRGB by majority (web apps), but it does not scale. Many technologies, including recent CSS updates, support wide gamut color. Gamut-awareness and bit depth, in my opinion, are of equal importance when it comes to a standard for storing color data. Although there's been discussion on color space support elsewhere. Hex is a convenience for manual evaluation and memorization, but that's it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by NateBaldwinDesign Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/79#issuecomment-1414000724 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
