css.properties.scrollbar-color - not apparently supported on MacOS Safari 26.3 #29315

Description

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/scrollbar-color
claims "Safari 26.2 (Release date: 2025-12-12) Full support"

However I am seeing no support in Safari Version 26.3 (20623.2.7.18.1) running on MacOS 15.7.4 (24G517) (no, not the latest "liquid glass version", but up-to-date on Safari and other OS patches.) Scrollbars function, but remain as sedate grey, not the gaudy result Firefox shows on the same platform for eg "scrollbar-color: orange purple;"

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Safari

What did you expect to see?

style="scrollbar-color: orange purple;" is claimed by MDN to produce gaudy output in Safari versions post 26.3
It does not on Safari Version 26.3 (20623.2.7.18.1) MacOS 15.7.4 (24G517)
Also confirmed unsupported on iOS version 18.7.2 (22H124) Safari
It does, for example, in Firefox 147 on the same platform.

Did you test this? If so, how?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <div style="width: 40vw; height: 40vh; overflow: scroll; resize: both;        
              scrollbar-width: thin; /* test that this works as well */         
              scrollbar-color: orange purple; /* No effect Safari 26.3 */       
              ">
    <div style="background-color: lime; width: 80vw; height: 80vh;"/>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Also confirmed unsupported (as if it would be!) on iPhone iOS version 18.7.2 (22H124) Safari
