The OPAC search results summary text ("Edition", "Material type", "Format" etc) is hard to read (grey text on a grey background) and the contrast ratio fails to meet accessibility guidelines. WCAG 2.1 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) Level AA: "The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, except for the following: - Large Text: Large-scale text and images of large-scale text have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1; - Incidental: Text or images of text that are part of an inactive user interface component, that are pure decoration, that are not visible to anyone, or that are part of a picture that contains significant other visual content, have no contrast requirement. - Logotypes: Text that is part of a logo or brand name has no contrast requirement." (https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/?versions=2.0#contrast-minimum) There are several free websites for checking the contrast ratio, e.g. https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ You can also use the built-in accessibility functions in Firefox and Chrome, as well as specialist accessibility browser extensions like WAVE (https://wave.webaim.org/)
Created attachment 125085 [details] [review] Bug 29068: Accessibility OPAC search results summary text has insufficient contrast This patch changes the colour of the label text in OPAC search results to increase the contrast ratio, improve accessibility and make the text easier to read. To test: 1. Search for something on the OPAC 2. Use an accessibility tool (e.g. Chrome's Lighthouse tool) to check the contrast ratio 3. Confirm that the labels (Edition, Format etc.) in the results summary have insufficient contrast 4. Apply the patch and rebuild CSS: yarn build --view opac 5. Use the accessibility tool to confirm the contrast ratio now meets minimum accessibility requirements 6. Check that the OPAC still looks ok after the changes
