@matuzo Yes, if you’re in gamut of the output device. But you lose some perceptual uniformity when out of gamut. Still better than HSL but less so in that case (especially when there’s no gamut mapping).

@leaverou That's bad news. :( Do you know where I can learn what "clipping" means in that case?

@matuzo Clipping means instead of doing something more sophisticated to bring the color within screen gamut you just convert it to RGB and clip r, g, b to (0%, 100%). This tends to produce good results when slightly OOG but pretty bad results the farthest out of gamut you go.
