The severity field for this bug is set to S3. However, the accessibility severity is higher, .

Checking with UX to see if we have a good solution for contrast in situations like these

We do have search fields that pass accessibility standards, like the ones settings screen to add custom tabs. We should attempt to update the color to match the existing ones

Is this an issue seen in the entire app or specific just to this one screen? Thanks!

I believe it is just specific to this screen, as we have search fields that do pass accessibility standards like the one in the settings screen to add custom tabs.
