Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4][css-color-adjust-1] Shielding system colors to avoid fingerprinting? (#5710)

Somewhat aside: I thought `:visited` wasn't solved yet? See #3012.

More on topic: [doesn't this leak through canvas as well](https://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/canvas/?c.clearRect(0%2C%200%2C%20640%2C%20480)%3B%0Ac.fillStyle%20%3D%20%22Background%22%0Ac.fillRect(0%2C%200%2C%20640%2C%20640)%3B%0Aconsole.log(...c.getImageData(0%2C%200%2C%201%2C%201).data)%3B)? 2/3 won't work there.

I think part of the question here is how the OS allows customization of these. If these are color pickers of the `<input type=color>` variety, it seems highly likely users that use this kind of thing would make themselves fingerprintable.
