Good point. I chatted offline with @minorninth about this.
Some slightly scattered thoughts:
- `light-level` defines more of a "why" than a "what", and I think page authors would be more interested in "what".
- @minorninth pointed out that there are at least three axes as to "what":
- Inverted colors: on/off
- Grayscale: on/off
- Plus more subtle colour modifications like "warm light" or "daltonized", maybe?
- Increased contrast: none vs maximum (slider)
- And further, each of these may be:
- controlled by the OS: the page needs to *react* to the "pixel level" change, or
- expressed as a user preference: the page needs to *apply* the preference (e.g. "I am a hacker and I want light on dark theme for everything all the time so I can pretend to be in the matrix")
- User preferences may ideally be browser-wide or (like text zoom) site specific and frequently changed.
- It would also be nice to be able to configure the relationship between light level and the above factors, with some good defaults.
