I think @cookiecrook 's summary in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5433#issuecomment-716954048 and https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5433#issuecomment-716954108 is a good one, and I agree that the tension summarized there is the core of the argument to be settled, either by picking a point on the trade-off, or by disproving some of the assumptions, thereby doing away with the trade-off. I'd just add one small nuance: > all users who have either [....] I don't think we need to go as far as "all users". With "most users", the argument still works, as including `prefers-contrast: forced` would help more often than not. There's a statistical nature to this problem, and depending on how we set up the system, we're may help or inconvenience more people. Which leads us to > Premise: If users have custom colors whose contrast ratios match neither low contrast nor high contrast, every user in this group still wants reduced visual complexity. (???) Same here: I'd replace "every user" with "most users". And while I agree the statement with "every" might be a little hard to prove or dubious, it seem much less of a stretch when it's merely "most": when you've opted into a forced (and thus reduced) color palette, you no longer have room for all sorts of decorative things, from a variety of background images, to gradients, or all sorts of embellishments. By picking a forced palette, you're necessarily opting into a visual simplification of some kind. It's going to happen whether we tell the author through a MQ or not, but it's part of the package, so we might as well tell them, so that they can react. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5433#issuecomment-716972078 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
