The spec <https://www.w3.org/TR/mediaqueries-5/#dynamic-range> requires that "The combination of the User Agent and the output device fulfill all of the following criteria" when describing what it means to be high dynamic-range. Since Chromium doesn't support wide-gamut colors in CSS, HTML, or Canvas, I think it's probably incorrect to report that (dynamic-range: high) is true based only on the device, which is what it looks to me like the current code <https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/core/css/media_query_evaluator.cc;l=351-378;drc=4d3cb20c1aebba55e54112531222c7434d29f3b0> does. Admittedly, the spec could probably use some clarification as to what it means for the User Agent to fulfill the criteria for both the dynamic-range and video-dynamic-range queries, but my understanding of what the spec is trying to say is that Chrome probably shouldn't say that (dynamic-range: high) is true until it supports wide-gamut colors in at least some and maybe all of those contexts.
