css-overview: Fix+Explain color expr number ranges

Last try, promise. They don’t all use 0 to 1. We should probably explain
the effects too. Hopefully this manages that while not being too verbose

       GTK+ also supports color expressions, which allow colors to be transformed
       to new ones and can be nested, providing a rich language to define colors.
+      Color expressions resemble functions, taking 1 or more colors and in some
+      cases a number as arguments.

-      Color expressions resemble functions, taking 1 or more colors and in some
-      cases a number as their arguments. The number is floating-point, clamped
-      between 0 and 1, and specifies the degree to which the expression will
-      transform the given color(s) in the manner that is indicated by its name.
+      shade() leaves the color unchanged when the number is 1 and transforms it
+      to black or white as the number approaches 0 or 2 respectively. For mix(),
+      0 or 1 return the unaltered 1st or 2nd color respectively; numbers between
+      0 and 1 return blends of the two; and numbers below 0 or above 1 intensify
+      the RGB components of the 1st or 2nd colour respectively. alpha() takes a
+      number from 0 to 1 and applies that as the opacity of the supplied color.
