Announced at the Microsoft //build conference:
A data structure, implemented as a new 'COLR' table in OpenType,
breaks down the base glyph into a separate set of glyphs, each
with its own z-order and single color reference. The color
references are handled has palette indices, with a separate table,
'CPAL' in OpenType that resolves the RGBA colors actually used
for the glyph.

and Adobe/Mozilla on the table. Each proposal has its advantages and
disadvantages, and aspects that distinguish them from the other proposals.
I have summarized the proposals and provided an analysis here:
