My first instinct was the same as Behdad's: that this is a font rendering issue, and not an obvious candidate for CSS level authoring control. However, we do expect CSS to be able to control colour display of many page elements, including monochrome text. While I can see the point of John's proposed font-variant-color property, I'm actually more interested in possible CSS interaction with colour font technologies that enable user-defined colour values for polychromatic glyphs. For example, the Microsoft CPAL table spec allows for user defined palettes, and CSS seems to me an obvious place to provide for author definition of colours. JH
