> ([#](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9660#issuecomment-1841452919)) What I still don't actually understand, tho, is what your original example is intending to do. I don't see anything activating a color scheme, nor any definition of what those three custom color schemes are.
Activation:
- Web Preferences API, where you set this on `:root`
- Author setting `color-scheme: --solarized-dark` on an element.

No. I like what you proposed [here](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9660#issuecomment-1834713634), in which an author can define a new color scheme and set the system colors. The minimum required descriptors are only the `base-scheme`, the maximum required descriptors are the minimum + all system colors
```css
/* Bare minimum custom color scheme */
@color-scheme --custom-minimum {
base-scheme: dark;
}
/* Fully fledged custom color scheme */
@color-scheme --solarized-dark {
base-scheme: dark;
AccentColor: …;
AccentColorText: …;
ActiveText: …;
ButtonBorder: …;
ButtonFace: …;
ButtonText: …;
Canvas: …;
CanvasText: …;
Field: …;
FieldText: …;
GrayText: …;
Highlight: …;
HighlightText: …;
LinkText: …;
Mark: …;
MarkText: …;
VisitedText: …;
}
```
I see where [my reply](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9660#issuecomment-1839810219) could be misinterpreted as the first code snippet echos what I initially had in mind … but that initial thought has evolved as this thread grew. The second example in [that comment](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9660#issuecomment-1839810219) has the full picture, and incorporates your proposal _(as also detailed in the code snippet in this comment)_ … I think we’re thinking the same on this?
