Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-5][css-images-4] Are these features ready to ship? (#7310)

I completely agree with the arguments presented by @Myndex - as a developer & designer, I have had WCAG 2 color contrast functions fail me numerous times in my career when attempting to create accessible experiences. Shipping an accessibility feature, like `color-contrast()`, too fast does not help make the web more accessible, and is actively working against that goal. 

At the end of the day, contrast algorithms based on perception, like APCA, are clearly the way forward, and introducing a feature like `color-contrast()` with WCAG 2 color contrast algorithms is a step backwards for the platform. I think Tim put it best when he said...
