Diagnoses

1. Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds; Element content is too short to determine if it is actual text content

   Tool: Axe (Deque)

   Rule: color-contrast

2. Text contrast of 4.43 with its background is less than the WCAG AA minimum requirements for text of size 18px and weight of 400

   Tool: Accessibility Checker (IBM)

   Rule: text_contrast_sufficient

3. Very low contrast

   Tool: WAVE (Utah State University)

   Rule: contrast

4. This element has insufficient contrast at this conformance level. Expected a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, but text in this element has a contrast ratio of 4.43:1. Recommendation: change background to #4f7b97.
