Dropper color space

[rkjames]

Are there any color space goals?
Are there any roundtrip goals? (Eg. Setting a div to dropper color should get dropper.color next round)

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Could you elaborate and provide some more context please?

[rkjames]

What color-space will dropper color be reported in? (eg. imagine an image loaded from a different space to the screen)

Can I round trip the color? eg. sample <div background-color:#123>, get the color from the dropper, set the color on the div, will its color change even slightly?

[LeaVerou]

I'm not sure which dropper you're referring to. Could you point me to the relevant specification?

In case it helps, hex colors (like your #123 example) on the Web are in the sRGB color space.

As discussed in TAG breakout today, we think this is probably redundant with #587 so closing this one for now. Please move conversation there. Thanks!
