Minutes Seattle F2F Thursday 2017-01-12 Part III: Font Color Palettes, Font Rendering Controls, Font Loading, Tokyo F2F

myles introduced his proposal for font color palette controls. Spec here and slides here.
- The group had a lot of questions around the decision to allow naming of templates, but not individual colors as people felt it may be too limiting.
- There were also questions about why transitions weren’t allowed on color palettes, though it was suggested that you could resolve the colors in the palette on a per element basis instead.
- The ability to use currentColor in the default palette will be raised as an issue to resolve.
Resolved: Accept Myles’s slimmed down palette control (associate a palette name with a font via @rule, assign colors to individual palette entries), with variables usable in the palette entries, drawn from the element’s custom properties on use.
Resolved: Replace the integer in font-palette with “normal”, and make it the initial value. (Choosing a specific font palette will require a bound name.)
