Role colors and icons based on theme

Discord is making some significant steps towards accessibility, but one major thing that makes normal usage hard for all users is missing. Currently, you can set a color for a role and a custom icon (if you have it unlocked, boost level 2). The idea of a role color was great when Discord only had one theme, but an issue was born since the Discord dark theme's arrival. It's impossible to find a role color accessible for both themes, thus failing the most standard web accessibility guidelines. This failure makes Discord harder to use for everyone. The same goes for role icons; most are colored and thus inaccessible or invisible based on your client settings (theme).

Here is my proposal to fix this common issue, it's understandable that this may not be able to be implemented, but something has to be done.

Give guilds the option to set a role color and icon per Discord theme (light and dark). It would be a plus if some form of contrast checking could be done to inform the user choosing the colors that this may cause accessibility issues. Both themes are already shown when picking a color, so this would be a great addition.

I think this could help Discord become more accessible for everyone. Thank you for reading my suggestion, don't forget to vote!

TLDR; Different role colors and icons based on Discord theme. Provide users with tools and knowledge on how to create more accessible guilds.
