Description

Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds to meet the WCAG 2 AA .

  • 4.5:1 for small text - 14pt bold (19 CSS pixels), or
  • 3:1 for large text - 18pt (24 CSS pixels)

Axe DevTools show that 6 elements do not meet color contrast on

Please find these elements and tips on how to improve in the next section πŸ‘‡πŸ½

Screenshots

I will show two ways that are valid for all 6 elements, using the first element as an example.

TL;DR - How To Solve

  1. Increase the value to a minimum of 19px AND set font-weight to a minimum of 700.
  2. Change text-color to a minimum of #171717.

πŸ’‘ Note: The black you are using #0F172A for the intro (Open Source community aimed at encouraging and promoting communication) would work just fine.

Now the get started button just looks odd.

Can we have the background-color a bit more dark but the text as white??

This just looks more natural. I just feel like that, Not because I want to make my first PR in this projectπŸ˜„πŸ˜„
