    Hi everyone,

    In light of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) a few days ago, I was looking into our theme’s accessibility and noticed a quick tweak we can make to improve readability.

    Currently, the theme uses color: #777 in various places style.css. Τhis shade doesn’t pass the standard WCAG contrast checks.

    To improve the theme’s accessibility, I propose updating all instances of #777 to #766 (or #767676). This minor change maintains the original aesthetic while ensuring the theme fully passes contrast checks and is more inclusive for all users.

    It’s a minor change in the stylesheet but a great step forward for the theme’s accessibility standards.

    Best regards,
    Lena
