How do I fix bad color contrast?
To improve poor color contrast in your UI:
Adjust brightness or darkness between text and background to increase contrast.
Modify saturation—muted colors can reduce clarity.
Test combinations using tools like WebAIM’s Contrast Checker or WhoCanUse.
Implement semantic color tokens for consistency across themes and modes.
