Hey @staff I have a suggestion!

When a device uses dark mode or a color palette with a darker background like "classic low contrast", the main text is all changed from black to white to increase contrast and readability, right?

However, when it comes to colored text (like this) some colors are very close in value to the background so it gets very difficult to read them.

My suggestion is to change especially the purple text color to a lighter shade in the dark palettes so it stands out against the dark gray.

I believe it also would be beneficial to check if other themes have unreadable colors like this one and adjust them accordingly.

#it is also a bigger issue for users with vision problems that make it hard to read text with such a low contrast like this #so adjusting these colors would also improve tumblr's acessibility #i can tell the lilac i choose to illustrate my point may be a little too close to the pink we already have #which may make them hard to distinguish #so maybe another color but just as light #suggestions #tumblr #colored text #tumblr staff #will staff even see this tho #the wip staff blog opens their inbox at mondays i think so next week i'll see if i drop this at them as well #acessibility
