CSS colors got a lot more powerful while most of us weren't looking. 🎨 In this talk @jdsteinbach.com demonstrates how features like light-dark(), relative colors, and contrast-color() can simplify theming, reduce design tokens, and make accessibility easier using browser capabilities.

Still drowning in color tokens? 🎨😵💫 Modern CSS fixes this. Learn practical refactors from @jdsteinbach.com, including: light-dark(), relative colors, and smarter theming—fewer variables, less duplication, clearer intent. Cleaner CSS. Better dark mode. ✨🌗 cascadiajs.com/2026/talks/p...
