It is well known that the original Lucy CCE model (Lucy, 1968a, 1968b) was unable to represent W-subclass light curves of W Ursae Majoris stars. Lucy's zero order barotropic model, with gray atmosphere limb darkening produces a deeper transit eclipse and zero color variation with phase. These predictions disagree with observation. Changing the limb darkening coefficient alone, within acceptable limits, cannot deepen occultation eclipse enough to make it deeper than the transit eclipse, as observations require.
