Description
Increasing Access
This issue addresses link color accessibility, specifically changing the link color so it meets W3CAG guidelines on color contrast requirements for small text.
Feature enhancement details
see #4031 for discussion and context.
General:
In client/styles/abstracts/_variables.scss
- rename
#ffa9d9(currentlyp5-contrast-pink) top5-contrast-light-pink - create a variable called
p5-contrast-dark-pinkfor the color#b20046 - update any prior references to
p5-contrast-pinkto usep5-contrast-light-pinkinstead
Dark mode: change all links to p5-contrast-light-pink (#ffa9d9)
Light mode: change all links to p5-contrast-dark-pink (#b20046)
The links could be changed one by one or by creating a link-text-color variable in each theme and making the links reference their theme's color.
PR Criteria:
- Provide screenshots in your PR of the visual changes implemented
- Provide quality assurance steps for how reviewers can ensure your changes are made properly
- use variable names for component colors (eg
p5-contrast-light-pink, not the hex code#ffa9d9)
