4447- Colors are first converted to Lab
4448- and then interpolated as Lab colors.
4449- Host syntax can override the interpolation color space and specify which color space is used for interpolation.
4450- <!-- For example, 'color-mix' and 'color-adjust' override the default to LCH. -->
4451-
4452- The exception is that if all the <<color>> s to be interpolated
4453- are sRGB values, and they are all expressed in a legacy syntax
4454- such as hex colors, named colors,
4444+ Different color spaces may be more appropriate for each interpolation use case.
4445+ For example, Lab works well for gradients, and LCH works well for color mixing.
4446+ The host syntax may define what the default interpolation space should be for each case,
4447+ and optionally provide syntax for authors to override this default.

4449+ If the host syntax does not define what colorspace interpolation should take place in,
4450+ it defaults to Lab. In that case, user agents may handle interpolation
