Indeed, luma is more suitable than mid-grey, customizing
‘list-colors-sort’ to “luminance” shows that distinguishable colors with
the black foreground start closer to the beginning of the color list.
Or we could use both luma and distance like in ‘shr-color-visible’
with two customizable options:
‘shr-color-visible-luminance-min’ and
‘shr-color-visible-distance-min’.
