Yeah, for originating elements and the other pseudos (at least tree-abiding ones), color:currentColor just means color:inherit, but for highlights, color:currentColor jumps across to the same place in the next highlight tree (or the originating tree).

![currentColor](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/465303/139268100-636c2461-d257-48f2-b9ed-2f22b92518bb.png)

The way I’ve made sense of it is that in both cases, color:currentColor effectively means “don’t change the color”. One is “don’t change the color in this child”, the other is “don’t change the color in this highlight”.
