Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

Interoperability is one of the major motivations for implementing these new 
features, as "Color Spaces and Functions" is one of the categories 
emphasized in Interop 2022:

https://web.dev/interop-2022/

https://wpt.fyi/interop-2022

Active work is taking place to keep all major browser vendors synchronized 
by collaborating on web platform tests and comparing results.

https://webkit.org/blog/10042/wide-gamut-color-in-css-with-display-p3/

Web developers: Strongly positive Several partners (Adobe/Figma for 
example) have expressed interest in the new color API.


Debuggability

Dev-tools team is currently working on implementing an improved color 
picker, color space translation tool and others.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, 
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

Yes

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests 
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

Yes, all tests in wpt/css/css-color/
<https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/css/css-color/parsing>As 
of this moment we pass 6594 out of 9702 
<https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-color?label=master&label=experimental&aligned> 
(Firefox passes 5729 and Safari passes 7020), we intend to pass them all 
before shipping to stable.

Estimated milestones

We intend to turn these features on in Canary and Dev as soon as we pass 
the remaining WPT tests and ship to stable for Chrome 110 in December.


Anticipated spec changes

The gamut mapping section of the spec (
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#gamut-mapping) is not included here, and 
will need changes or likely need to be dropped entirely as it is a 
performance issue and is untested and unimplemented everywhere:
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7653
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7610

There are still some issues to be ironed out with resolving color-mix:
