Validated by me, but identified with axe-core and AI.

Found with axe-core and Accessibility Insights FastPass on the landing page and the
Call for Stands post.

  • Light theme: darken --c-link to #2b6cb0 (4.49:1 -> 5.4:1 on white) and the code and
    callout colours used on #f6f6f6 (WCAG 1.4.3).
  • Dark theme: add --c-accent-text (#e879d0) for large and small accent text that was
    2.5:1 on #222: the '27 in the logo text, the landing date, callout titles and the
    calendar links. --c-main, the brand purple, is unchanged, so the logo, buttons and
    callout borders keep #ac1d94 (1.4.3).
  • Underline links inside body text, articles and the footer so they are not told apart
    from surrounding text by colour alone (1.4.1).
  • Drop opacity on .landing-license, which put the CC BY link below 4.5:1.
  • Mark the CC badge decorative (alt=""): the licence is named in the text beside it (1.1.1).
