if you are asking how to query the values of parent elements or classes from CSS, good news! you cannot, so trying is unnecessary 
i have been extremely frustrated by this too, the only things i have found are to use inherit and transparent lighter/darker overlays
have one color/background combo in one theme and a different one in another
I mean moreso on cohost
whenever I post music I like to add a title to it, but recently I realized that when viewed in a dark theme, the title is totally indistinguishable (white on light cream), and technically I could be really lazy and set the text to the cohost black color manually but I feel like that's unideal, so I just wanted to know if anyone else had already made an easy tool to just smartly fwip fwop when the theme changes
in general i hard code the background color if i hard code the text color
theres a hack that works right now for certain things, though im not the one who discovered it
