Gradients in a better colorspace indeed make more sense to me (all of HSL/HSV/Lab are way more useful for practical applications than what sRGB does), same as HSL palettes in tools like Photoshop, but this transparency example I don't understand. Admittedly, I never gave it much of thought, but all these "my browser" examples look MUCH better and more intuitive to me, than the "correct" case. Well, I don't know, maybe 25% opacity should look a little bit more potent, but these "my browser" examples are actually usable, they look good, even though I agree they should all look the same (they don't for me). But each one of them looks better to me, than the "correct" example, which simply cannot be used to shade a picture. It doesn't look like a glass. It's ugly.
