There is a request to implement a new meta tag in Chromium/Blink:
<meta name="brand-color" content="#0000ff"> [1]
It seems to be intended to do some UI-styling on android.
Other vendors have similar things:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black">
<meta name="msapplication-navbutton-color" content="#FF3300">
IMHO this is a bad idea, because
- introducing a new meta tag just to define a single color covers a
limited set of usecases
- and it's about styling and belongs to CSS anyway
My proposal is to handle this with one or more special new Media
Features, which require a separate sylesheet.
So you can do simple things like this:
<style media="UI-mobile-or-whatever-name-it-could-have">
/*add styling for your "brand-color" here*/
</style>
<link rel=stylesheet media=UI-mobile href="...">
@media UI-mobile {} should be invalid (ignored) in other styleshests,
because it seems undesirable to mix UI and content stylesheets.
