Description
-
It's unclear which cells are editable and which are read-only. All cells have the same background color, but for read only some are displayed with a different colored text, and some with italicized text? And empty cell are harder to tell.
-
The read-only gray text has contrast issue with the cell background color, it's hard to read and does not pass the contrast checker (see attached for dark mode colors checked). Please consider using a different text color to display read-only text.
