Additional Information

I am not sure if it's really necessary for the contrast ratio to be this low. Especially noticeable at a greater distance to the monitor. I believe this has been different in the past.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the GET and DELETE labels in Insomnia 9.3.3 on macOS and locate the UI styles that define their colours; compare the resulting contrast with accessibility guidance. Done means both labels have a higher, readable contrast without reducing their distinction.
