 There have been previous discussions around the use of "base" and
 "contrast" as color names in the Twenty Twenty-Three color palette, here:
 https://github.com/WordPress/twentytwentythree/issues/36

 I'd like to propose another idea that may help solve the naming issues,
 especially around these two colors. We could define these two colors in
 `styles.color.background` and `styles.color.text` instead of defining them
 separately in the color palette. We could then use `ref` values to
 reference them elsewhere in the theme.json files.

 The colors can still be defined in the color palette, but perhaps under a
 descriptive name, e.g. "dark purple". This means that the names of these
 two colors in the color palette would not need to match their purpose
 (e.g. background, foreground, base, contrast).

 I've created a PR to demonstrate the idea.
