Waaaait - I recently implemented a simple dark mode for a simple page and thought color-scheme declares intent/support not influence how it is being rendered. I thought I still had to define dark coloring.
I just checked and to my surprise the browser indeed serves different default/root coloring when dark color scheme is declared [as well]. :O This means I can simplify my CSS.
I must have been misled when skimming by “specifies compatibility” and “Component authors must use the prefers-color-scheme media feature to support the color schemes on the rest of the elements.” missing the browser behavior change description.
