1862928 - [css-color] Add function that serialize a color to a value that an author would enter

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, task)

Description

[Tiaan Louw [:tlouw]]

Right now AbsoluteColor::to_css(...) serializes to a computed value. Computed values have rules like serializing hsl/hwb to rgb, etc. For displaying color in the user interface, we want specified values (values entered by authors).

Attachment: Bug 1862928 - Part 2 - Add function to serialize colors as authored values. r=#layout

This function allows writing colors as specified values so that it can
be used in the frontend and diplayed to users.

Mostly this avoid serializing hsl/hwb to rgb format like it does for
computed values.

Depends on D192672
