Is that really optimal? It is already true in that case that your colour schemes do not work for people with opinionated colour settings. Isn't this just relying on a quirk? The point of not using truecolor is to respect the colour preferences of the user. XKCD 1172? https://xkcd.com/1172/ | ||

It has been working for decades and I would rather have it keep working for decades to come. What would be optimal is semantic _styles_ (not colors): - The developer marks the string "XXX" as an error message without even trying to style it. - The platform/user agent/terminal/whatever displays the string in the default style for "error". - The user can adjust the theme of their platform/user agent/terminal/whatever to fit their needs/wants. | ||
