      REFERENCE:
      Deque University: https://dequeuniversity.com/class/visual-design2/contrast/text-against-background

      BACKGROUND:
      People who have low vision or are colorblind may have difficulty reading text if the contrast between the text its background is insufficient. When the contrast ratio between text and its background is adequate, people who have low vision or are colorblind are more likely to be able to read the text.
