Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] Mitigating fingerprinting for AccentColor/AccentColorText (#10372)

No, there is a trade off regarding fingerprinting. In our case, Firefox was already shipping similar colours for e.g. selection (Highlight/HighlightText) which already exposed / were derived from the system accent color, so adding the accent color didn't add any extra fingerprinting surface except for obscure GTK themes. Also, on windows we don't expose the system accent color, currently.

If we wanted to tackle that fingerprinting surface (tracked in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1861362, cc @martinthomson) the way to fix it would be returning a hard-coded color not only for accent color, but also for Highlight / SelectedItem / etc.
