[css-houdini-drafts] [css-properties-values-api] Computed values for <color>

jonathanyc has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts:

== [css-properties-values-api] Computed values for <color> ==
Section 2.4 [1] of the spec says:

> For <custom-ident>, ident, <color>, <image>, <url>, <integer>, 
<angle>, <time>, <resolution>, <transform-function> or "*" values, the
 computed value is identical to the specified value.

But what if a color value is _currentColor_, or a color name like 
_red_?

css-color level 4 says that the computed value of the color property 
is an RGBA color. [2]

Shouldn't the computed value of a variable with type _<color>_ be an 
RGBA color as well?
