Re: [w3c/manifest] Add support for defining a theme color for both light & dark modes (prefers color scheme) (#975)

Re: adding `theme_colors` to live alongside `theme_color`, and perhaps extending that idea to add `background_colors` to live alongside `background_color`... 

This is the kind of thing the CSSWG always avoids. It's very confusing for developers to have remember whether or not there's an 's' at the end — and that the version with the 's' works differently than the one without. This is especially true for folks who don't speak English fluently or at all, which is an incredible number of developers. 

An entirely different name is much better, like `color_schemes` or `color_overrides`. This is something that people can learn & understand completely separate from the original mechanism for theme color... and eventually let `theme_color` fade away as something the industry ignores when teaching or doing web development in the future.
