color-mix takes two color specifications and returns the result of mixing them, in a given colorspace, by a specified amount. For example, `color-mix(red yellow 40%)` produces a mixture of 40% red and 60% yellow.

Motivation

This new function will give designers greater flexibility when working with colors. One example is to create tinted variants of a single base color to form a design palette. We also need this function to support a CSSWG resolution related to background-color in forced colors mode. The resolution calls for using color-mix to construct the used background-color from the rgb channels of the appropriate system color plus the alpha channel from the computed color.
