Using your design system colors with contrast-color()

One predictable pain point with contrast-color() is that it only returns black and white named colors. From a design systems perspective, that's not ideal because you want your colors. You want your harmonious brand and the colors you and your team spent thousands of man hours in meetings deciding on. Those colors. In fact, an earlier version of Safari had color-contrast() (confusing I know, naming is hard) which allowed you to pass in a list of best candidates to choose from. I beleive that proposal got mired in standards discussions, color contrast algorithms, and competing proposals; and contrast-color() is what survived which got simplified down to a binary result.

There has been a lot of functionality added to CSS in the meantime; enough that I wanted to see whether we could implement it in a cross-browser friendly way today.
