SystemColor

Remarks

CSS Color 4 § 6.1's list, minus the three deprecated groups. Every one of these is a role and not a colour — Canvas is "whatever this platform paints a page on" — which is what makes them the only spelling in CSS that can follow a light/dark switch, a high-contrast switch or an accent-colour change without a stylesheet saying anything.

⚠ The pairs travel together and reading one without the other is the mistake this enum's ordering is arranged to make hard. A background role is immediately followed by its text role — Canvas/CanvasText, ButtonFace/ButtonText, Field/FieldText, Highlight/HighlightText, Mark/MarkText, AccentColor/AccentColorText — because a forced palette guarantees contrast within a pair and guarantees nothing across two. Substituting Canvas behind ButtonText is how a high-contrast theme produces invisible text out of two colours the platform chose.
