Research direction

Reproduce the Audiocard response in Edge with Windows High Contrast Aquatic mode and the reported styleOptions setup. Start by tracing the Play, Voice, and More icon rendering and their adjacent colors; done means each icon reaches at least a 3:1 contrast ratio and the reproduction no longer shows the accessibility failure.
