Investigate too much contrast

[Camulos]

As with how the dark-mode colours are generated using not fully black as the darkest, similarly it may be beneficial to not use 100 % white as the lightest colour in light-mode.

It is also possible that 100 % black and white should always be avoided.

Also in this interview we are given some examples on how light is a "bigger" part of the visuals we see, compared to colour-information as there are more "receptors" being able to read light than there is for colour in the eye:

Suggested experiments and further investigation:

• Always stay at least 2 % off of either extreme (minimum 2 % light and maximum 98 % light) - how would this change the theme-builder?
• Investigate (further desk-study) what is considered to be too much contrast, is there a value in either /both wcag 2 and APCA contrast calculations that can be used as a baseline?

With new colors at Brønnøysundregistrene, we have now removed #fff and #000 from our colors. The darkest and lightest colors will be 2% from the extreme i lightness. We will share our experiences with this move as we learn more.
