 Color space for interpolation</h3>

-	Colors are first converted to Lab
-	and then interpolated as Lab colors.
-	Host syntax can override the interpolation color space and specify which color space is used for interpolation.
-	<!-- For example, 'color-mix' and 'color-adjust' override the default to LCH. -->

-	The exception is that if all the <<color>>s to be interpolated

+	Different color spaces may be more appropriate for each interpolation use case.
+	For example, Lab works well for gradients, and LCH works well for color mixing.
+	The host syntax may define what the default interpolation space should be for each case,
+	and optionally provide syntax for authors to override this default.

+	If the host syntax does not define what colorspace interpolation should take place in,

 	This provides Web compatibility; legacy sRGB content interpolates in the sRGB space by default.
 
 	This also means that authors can choose to opt-in to Lab interpolation
