@aarongustafson, 
> do we want to make the system flexible to allow for other color adjustments like forced-colors, inverted-colors or monochrome while we're devising it?

We checked and a lot of those are computed and didn't apply in case of installation from a manifest (or could be handled in CSS itself once the app starts). Thus, we didn't see "forced-colors, inverted-colors or monochrome" becoming "a thing" that we would need to worry about in this spec with the properties that we have.

Not sure I follow? `"overrides"` is not a thing, is it? If the object just contains other objects, then theoretically it can just be collapsed away (hence `"color_scheme_dark"` at the top-level). I guess my point being, `"overrides"` "pollutes" equally as just having `"color_scheme_dark"`.
