All forced colors scenarios do require reduced color complexity, and I would be happy to try to convince you of that :) ## First, a technical reason: Because you only have a handful of colors at your disposal, all types of gradients and box shadows are out, irrespective of the colors that the user chose for the theme. ## Secondly, a practical use case: To give you an idea of what a fully-fleshed forced-colors mode that is not high contrast can result into, here is for instance what Outlook looks like using a "Reduced complexity (light blue)" theme, whose purpose is to limit color usage on the screen, and have all "interactive things" be blue, so that it is easy to see at a glance what is clickable on an user interface:  As you can see, while this theme I presented does not match a "high contrast" criteria because of the dark on light gray, achieving this end result still required a reduced color complexity, for things to work properly. Just in case this needs some context, this is what a page looks like in this forced-colors mode versus not: <table><tr><td>  </td><td>  </td></tr></table> As your can see, irrespective of the choice of colors, the use of gradients and visual complexity has been reduced, to achieve the desired effect. -- GitHub Notification of comment by FremyCompany Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6036#issuecomment-786036068 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
