[css-backgrounds] <color> in <shadow> should default to currentcolor #2766
Description
Currently the spec says:
Specifies the color of the shadow. If the color is absent, the used color is taken from the color property.
It seems to behave like currentcolor nowadays, but it would have different behavior in terms of interpolating. I think we should probably make it default to currentcolor instead. I see no reason we need a separate no-color value case.
(It's not clear to me whether it should go to level 3 or 4.)

When we get agreement on this, it would be a change to color 4 and an erratum on color 3.

This also affects
drop-shadow()in Filter Effects, which has similar statement:It should use currentcolor as well, I suppose.

I agree that referencing
currentColoris the correct way to go here for bothshadowanddrop-shadow().css-meeting-bot commentedon Jul 3, 2018

<myles> xidorn: the issue is that if it isn’t specify, the used color is taken from the current property
