   Rule engine: Axe (Deque)

   Rule: color-contrast

3. Text contrast of 3.67 with its background is less than the WCAG AA minimum requirements for text of size 19.2px and weight of 400

   Rule engine: Accessibility Checker (IBM)

   Rule: text_contrast_sufficient

4. Text must have sufficient contrast against its background
