You may have noticed grapheneos.org now includes a logo in the navigation bar. The site reuses the same SVG with a mask of the GrapheneOS logo for the header, footer and Safari tab icon.
Setting the color to match the color of the text for the active page is ridiculous.

Can use codepen.io/sosuke/pen/Pjo to generate a filter chain closely approximately the color via the probabilistic algorithm above. Tweaking it to use a loop until it gets one with insignificant loss is simple enough and it doesn't take long.
How is the web this screwed up though?

I don't really want to rely on features that are behind prefixes and partially implemented. Currently only using one of those kinds of features and it's a minor optional thing.
