(Note: there may still be outstanding privacy considerations identified in the review that have not yet been resolved.)
The CSS WG requested a privacy review on 7 December 2020.
Spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-adjust-1/
Privacy and security considerations: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-adjust-1/#priv-sec
Background from the WG: This module introduces a model and controls over automatic color adjustment by the user agent to handle user preferences, such as "Dark Mode", contrast adjustment, or specific desired color schemes.
These features work together with related features in Media Queries 5 https://www.w3.org/TR/mediaqueries-5/ and the system colors in CSS Color 4 https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#css-system-colors:
system colors allow the author to use colors from the forced palette
Overview and explainer for forced colors mode (corresponds to Microsoft’s “Windows High Contrast Mode”): https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2019Apr/0004.html
The spec is in the "Refining" stage of development, per http://fantasai.inkedblade.net/weblog/2011/inside-csswg/process and is being actively implemented by browsers.
The WG has asked that we raise any issues in the csswg GitHub repo: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues.
