Agreed; along with Ted's observation that theme-color hits at least
the 80/20 use-case, I don't think we need anything new for colors
here.  UAs SHOULD look at the lightness of the theme-color and make
adjustments as appropriate.  (Tho only if necessary - Twitter blue,
for example, should stay unless it's really bad. Icons don't need to
meet the same a11y contrast guidelines as text, I wouldn't think,
giving you a lot of latitude to keep the specified color exactly in
most circumstances.)
