cookiecrook has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [mediaqueries-5] duplication of `forced-colors: active` and `prefers-contrast: forced` == [mediaqueries-5] duplication of `forced-colors: active` and `prefers-contrast: forced` Breaking this discussion out of the large mega thread in #2943. I believe these statements are true. 1. AFAICT, `forced-colors: active` and `prefers-contrast: forced` are exact duplications of each other. 2. I am only aware of one implementation of forced colors: on Windows. 3. `forced-colors` is already implemented in Edge (and possibly in the Chrome HC extension.) Opinions: - I'm not sure why two properties are needed. I think I'd heard both that the `forced` value is intended as a replacement for the `forced-colors` media feature, and I've also heard that these are intended to be complementary and co-exist. Which is it, and why? - Since there is only one implementation (Windows), I worry that shoehorning a single `forced` value into `prefers-constrast` is unnecessarily limiting. Another platform (iOS, Mac, ChromeOS, Android, Linux) may support a different forced mode in the future, and `forced-colors` would be easier to extend.
