> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-images-4/#image-notation 
>
> *Summary*
> The image() function allows an author to easily generate a solid-color 
> image from any color. Its syntax is: image() = image( <color> ) 
>
> *Blink component*

> image-function <https://webstatus.dev/features/image-function> 
>
> *Motivation*
> CSS has long needed a primitive way to express a transparent image: an 
> <image> value with no intrinsic dimensions that paints nothing. Authors 
> today reach for awkward workarounds like linear-gradient(transparent) to 
> fabricate one, because the none keyword cannot be used as a generic image. 
> Many properties that accept <image> also accept none with property-specific 
> meaning (for example, in list-style-image, none suppresses the marker 
> rather than drawing a transparent image), and none is not a valid <image> 
> for registered custom properties using syntax: "<image>". The CSS Working 
> Group has confirmed that promoting none to a general image type is 
> unworkable. This gap became concrete in the design of light-dark() from CSS 
> Color 5. The specification allowed light-dark(none, none) and described it 
> as equivalent to linear-gradient(transparent), but that definition does not 
> round-trip: when the chosen value is none, the result needs a real <image> 
> representation that is valid everywhere <image> is accepted, including 
> inside registered custom properties and in contexts like list-style-image 
> where the bare keyword none carries a different meaning. Without a 
> dedicated image primitive, implementations were forced either to refuse 
> none inside light-dark() (as Firefox originally did) or to special-case it 
> in ways that leak through computed values. The CSS image() function, 
> already specified in CSS Images Level 4, provides exactly the needed 
> primitive. In particular, image(<color>) produces an image with no natural 
> dimensions filled with a solid color, and image(transparent) is a fully 
> transparent image that is unambiguously an <image> value in every context. 
> The CSS WG resolved that light-dark(..., none) computes to 
> image(transparent) when none is the chosen branch, which both fixes the 
> round-trip problem and gives authors a clear, intuitive way to spell "a 
> transparent image" without abusing gradient syntax. Shipping image() 
> (initially scoped to its <color> form, since the broader features of 
> image() can be deferred) therefore unblocks light-dark(), supports 
> registered <image> custom properties that need a transparent initial value, 
> replaces the common linear-gradient(transparent) idiom with a direct and 
> self-documenting expression, and lays the groundwork for the remaining 
> capabilities of image() in CSS Images 4.
