@JoshTumath if we switch the inheritance / resolution behavior this is also a footgun, just a different one:

```html
<div style="color-scheme: light; color: light-dark(black, white); background-color: light-dark(white, black);">
  <div style="color-scheme: dark">
    Now this is white-on-white and unreadable
  </div>
</div>
```
