Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

In bug 1201331, we are adding yet another "firefox blue" button with white text. While reviewing the patch, Gijs remarked (bug 1201331 comment 49):

> Note: this only passes WCAG AA contrast checks for large text, which would be
> >=14pt + bold or >=18pt (and normal font-weight), which the text isn't. 
> It would be good if UX picked a darker shade for the background to alleviate
> this problem. Something like #016ea1 would work but I don't know if that looks
> ugly and/or UX wants to pick something else. See http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
> for an easy-to-use tool to check this.

Note that the same color is also used in a number places (eg, pocket, hello)
