Issue (question?) with "color()": "name of a color defined by a colorspace"

MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value/color()

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The document states that you can pass:

"a <string> giving the name of a color defined by the colorspace."

• I am not able to see any names defined by any color space in the documentation.
• I also cannot see this syntax in the specification documentation.
  • https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#color-function
  • https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-5/#color-function
    • Even in custom colorspaces I don't see syntax for <string>

Am I missing something, are there colorspaces that have colors defined as strings similar to how currentColor is predefined, or is this page incorrect?

Specific section or headline?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value/color()#values

What did you expect to see?

It would be nice to have an example <string> defined by any colorspace.

Did you test this? If so, how?

I tested a few options of what I would expect to possibly work in the latest version of Safari on MacOS.
background: color(display-p3 1 0.5 0); - Works
background: color(srgb orange); - does not work

That part of the color() syntax has been removed.
