== [css-color-adjust-1] Emojis in forced colors mode ==
Currently in [forced colors mode](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-adjust-1/#forced-colors-mode), emojis are not adjusted (similarly to images).

For example, when using the following emojis: 🤞😡👍🎉❓🤷‍♂️👆👈🤔🔮🔍👻

Blink and Gecko will produce the following in a dark forced color scheme:

However, in EdgeHTML and most Windows apps, emojis will fall back to use a monochrome variant of the emoji colored in the Windows High Contrast text color (i.e. `CanvasText`):

The monochrome variant would provide higher levels of contrast and parity with how Windows generally handles emojis in High Contrast. Is this something we should consider recommending or aligning with in the spec?
