edit: with finish I mean use this for light/dark mode and fix it so that the preference chosen by the user is not immediately discarded after navigation. One doesn't discard user selected preferences. It is not done.
@media (prefers-color-scheme: [name]) seems more extensible, but this feels simpler and easier to read.
Glad the function accepts custom properties (CSS "variables").
Should probably add a color property that doesn't use this function as a fallback for browsers that don't support it.
> The values for this feature might be expanded in the future (to express a more active preference for light color schemes, or preferences for other types of color schemes like "sepia"). As such, the most future-friendly way to use this media feature is by negation such as (prefers-color-scheme: dark) and (not (prefers-color-scheme: dark)), which ensures that new values fall into at least one of the styling blocks.

color: light-dark(black, white);
Functional notation: light-dark(light-color, dark-color)
It's not declaring the relative brightness of the two colours - I agree it could be documented a little less ambiguously with something like `light-theme-color`.
