Behaviour of Avatar (light) changed with v9

[wuifdesign]

In v9, when you provide a custom color for the avatar, the icon color is now automatically set to either white or black based on contrast. Previously, it used a darker shade of the provided color.

This change appears to come from the following commit:
7acbb2f#diff-302fe31a83a0bbc31ce28617ecae4a8c6724ddda04b3e0db58e07824f780add6R105

Is this behavior intended? The darker shade approach still works when using predefined colors, which makes the behavior feel inconsistent when mixing predefined and custom colors.

You can reproduce this by selecting the "filled" variant and applying a custom color on the docs page:

It looks correct for me on the docs page – https://mantine.dev/core/avatar/#usage
Colors changed a little, it is expected change. If you want to use previous version colors for light variant, see migration guide.
I do not see any changes to the filled variant as well on the docs page – it works as in 8.x release.

if i use the color red i get this result, which is the same as before:

if i use the same color (or any other custom color, the content is now black (or white if color is dark):

i want to have the user icon the shade of the choosen color like it behaved in v8. is this possible?

also i notice if i choose the same color in v9, as i choose in the screenshot above for v8 it changes its design to filled (or at least it does not look "light") @rtivital
