It's a really a naive approach that hasn't taken into account design at scale, nor the future of where design is heading. Note that `light-dark()` isn’t the end goal here. As discussed within the CSS WG, the end goal is to have a generic function `schemed-value()` to give you what you want. I realize this wasn’t included in the post, so I’ve added a new section to the post with this information: https://www.bram.us/2023/10/09/the-future-of-css-easy-light-dark-mode-color-switching-with-light-dark/#schemed-value https://www.bram.us/2023/10/09/the-future-of-css-easy-light-... I hope this addresses your concern. If not, feel free to let me (or the CSS WG for that matter) know.
