Diagnoses

Here is how rule engines diagnose the text contrast improvable issue for HTML element 795 of the Quiet Communities page.

1. Element was excluded from scanning because it's not visible either due to being explicitly hidden or e.g. is being rendered outside of viewport, having transparency etc.

   Rule engine: ASLint (eSSENTIAL Accessibility)

   Rule: color_contrast_aaa7

2. This element has insufficient contrast at this conformance level. Expected a contrast ratio of at least 7:1, but text in this element has a contrast ratio of 1:1. Recommendation: change text colour to #595959.

   Rule engine: HTML CodeSniffer (Squiz Labs)

   Rule: E-WCAG2AAA.Principle1.Guideline1_4.1_4_6.G17.Fail
