Is it an abuse of #css #system #colors to use them as a generalized palette for UI features that don't have an explicit system color (assuming no direct contradiction)?
For example -- a button's border should be `ButtonBorder`, the text in a form field should be `FieldText`, and it would be bad practice to use any other name.
But there's no "FieldBorder" (it inherits from `ButtonBorder`) so would it be legit to use something like `VisitedText` as the border-color for an invalid field?
