Would it help if there was just a way to run the contrast() adjuster on two colors: the foreground color you want to alter and the background color you want it to contrast against?

It's odd in my mind that the default if omitted is 100%. I imagine a major use-case for the contrast adjuster is to automatically set the text color appropriately, given a background color that it'll be displayed over. In that case, black/white is the most common. It's also the safest choice, as it provides maximum contrast (minimum contrast is set to the WCAG AA level of contrast; you should usually try for AAA level for maximum readability). ~TJReceived on Monday, 9 March 2015 22:19:32 UTC
