Hi, I was wondering how CSS Color Module Level 4 will deal with these color modifications: 1. color(lab(50, 80, 67), saturation(-10%)) 2. color(lch(50, 100, 40), lightness(-10%)) The problem with the first is Lab has no saturation definition. The second is harder to explain: because "chroma" and "lightness" are not independent from one another (CIE defines "chroma" as "colorfulness of an area judged as a proportion of the brightness of *a similarly illuminated area* that appears white or highly transmitting"), changes in lightness will also affect the saturation of a color. This cannot be corrected in a color space that does not formally define saturation, like Lab. Would it make sense to add support to CIE Luv and its cylindrical variation (let's call it LuvLCH so it won't be confused with the already defined LCH from Lab)? Unlike Lab, Luv does define saturation, which might help with both problems above. Thanks, Guilherme
