Description
According to a recent Lighthouse report, some text on the website has low contrast between the background and foreground colors, making it difficult or impossible for some users to read the text.
Impact
Low-contrast text is a significant barrier to accessibility for users with color blindness or visual impairments. It can cause strain on the eyes and make it difficult for some users to read and understand the content on the website.
Proposed Solution
To resolve this issue, the contrast ratio between the background and foreground colors should be increased to a level that meets the accessibility standards. The WCAG recommends a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt or 14pt bold).
Affected Elements
This issue spans the entirety of the website but here are some examples.
On the homepage, this is affecting the text in the card modules and the links in the footer.
Low contrast can also be found in other places such as the Table of Content title on mobile:
This is not an exhaustive list and we will need to take a closer look to find any other instance of low contrast text to ensure accessibility and usability of the website for all users.
