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

@kyerebo So if I "un-type" the value (by substituting into something that's not a color) the value becomes the fallback color? I'm not sure that makes sense, because then in something like my example above, if you add something like `caret-color: var(--my-color);` it suddenly stops being the "real" accent color, right?

Would you be able to provide a patch (a WIP chromium CL link would work) so that I can play with your proposed behavior a bit?

But in general my gut feeling is that plugging all the holes sounds significantly complex.
