Description
Feature/improvement
Hi,
I ran the website through the following accessibility checkers: EXPERTE, Audit and AccessiBe. Overall all the checkers returned a good accessibility score rate, but the most common issue shown in the all reports was the lack of high contrast between the foreground and background colours. I would like to resolve this issue, to help users with vision impairments. Specifically fixing the tab bar colour ratio against the background.

Research direction
Start by locating the website’s tab bar styles and inspect the foreground and background colour combinations identified by the accessibility reports. Verify the contrast ratios with an accessibility checker; done means the tab bar meets an accessible high-contrast ratio without reducing usability.
