Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

Steps to reproduce:

1- Enable red light filter/night light on Windows 10. Turn up red light filter to maximum redness.
2- enter reader view on a webpage

Actual results:

hyperlinks are blue and not visible

Expected results:

hyperlinks should be white so they are not filtered by the redfilter

I can reproduce it on the latest versions of Firefox(78 and 79b) and Nightly(80). This could be a nice enhancement. I am assigning a component to this in order to involve the development team and get an opinion.

Also a problem on Linux with GNOME's night light mode (interesting, I had not realized the contrast problem was more perceptible in night light mode; turns out that in daylight mode, the blue hyperlinks appear "bright enough" to not be as much of an issue, but when in night light mode, the contrast problem gets exacerbated).

Perhaps the blue color that could be used in this case could be the same as what Firefox / Bugzilla uses here in dark mode: #1897db a.k.a. rgb(24, 151, 219)
