weinig has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-ui] Disentangle `outline-style` from the `outline-color` computed style == The computed style for the `outline-color` property in CSS UI (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ui/#outline-color) has the following spec text for the computed style: > When outline-style is auto, outline-color: auto computes to auto and represents the accent color. > > Otherwise, outline-color: auto computes to currentColor. Like with https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11494, I think it would be better if we could disentangle these, as it complicates explicit inheritance in ways that I think will be confusing for authors. WebKit has not implemented `outline-color: auto`, so I don't think there is much likelihood of any web compat issues in changing this. I propose that instead, the behavior identified above should be change from effecting the computed style to effecting the used style.
