Nice demo by Daniel Yuschick, showing how color-contrast() does its thing. Using the controls you can change the target contrast using a keyword or a custom value. Good use of Custom Properties there as well! 👨🔬 To check this demo you’ll need Safari Technology Preview 122+ with the CSS color-contrast() Experimental Feature enabled.

Note that not all browsers support accent-color at the time of writing. Embedded below is a Pen that indicates whether your browser supports it or not. See the Pen CSS accent-color Support …

(Focus the CodePen embed first) See the Pen Radial focus effect with mask-image by Adam Argyle (@argyleink) on CodePen. It basically is a fixed grey overlay with a mask-image on top that …
