Chris Lilley: The Evolution Of CSS4 Colors - CSSConf.Asia 2016

After attending this talk you will understand that color is a measurable, reproducible sensation; standardized since 1931! You will get white point adaptation. You will understand Lab color space, be comfortable with gamut volume plots, and be able to laugh at snake-oil claims about color gamut coverage in advertising. You will be really looking forward to seeing CSS4 Color implemented in all the browsers.
Chris Lilley is a Technical Director at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Considered “the father of SVG”, he also co-authored PNG, was co-editor of CSS2, chaired the group that developed @font-face, and co-developed WOFF. Ex Technical Architecture Group. Chris is still trying to get Color Management on the Web, sigh. Currently working on CSS levels 3/4/5 (no, really), Web Audio, and WOFF2.

I really don't understand it clearly yet, does anyone have a good source where I can learn more about the different color properties? Especially the new CSS4 color property? Since it's almost supported in all browsers by now. Thanks in advance

Surprised that we didn't already have this under control. Pretty laughable actually.
