Text has too little contrast
What it means and why it matters
People with low vision or bright screens can't read low-contrast text. WCAG 1.4.3 requires 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
How to fix it
Darken the text or lighten the background until the ratio is at least 4.5:1. Check button labels, placeholders, prices and footer links.
