Parameters
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| reference-color | The color based on which the color operation should be performed. |

| output-for-dark-ref-color | The color value that should be output when reference color is a light color. This is optional and default value is black. |
| threshold | This is a percentage value which defines when the reference color is considered as a dark color and when it is considered as a light color. Color comparison is done using gamma-corrected luma values. This is optional and the default value is 43% |

Remarks
Contrast
In the contrast function, the output-for-dark-ref-color and output-for-light-ref-color can be provided in any order. The function automatically identifies which is the dark color (to be used when ref color is light) and which is light color (to be used when ref color is dark) based on their own luma values.
