For example #stronger & #softer could be used in a bright or a dark theme to refer to the progression of colour without any reliance on the specific theme needs. Sort of an abstraction of intent. Give a theme a collection of colours and set the middle as 'normal'. Or have an algorithm specific to the theme.
