The biggest difference between generic colors and the other scenarios 
(images / gradients / rgba colors) is the difficulty in measuring the 
ratio to determine if you have sufficient contrast. With rgb colors it 
is trivial to determine if you have sufficient contrast. With the others 
there is no automated way to measure the ratio.
