💡 What

This PR increases the color contrast for secondary labels (small text) across the "Components", "Requirements", and "Team" sections of the main landing page.

🎯 Why

The original design used --gray-400 (#9aa0a6) for these labels, which resulted in a contrast ratio of approximately 2.85:1 against the white background. This falls short of the WCAG 2.1 AA requirement of 4.5:1 for small text, making the interface difficult to read for users with visual impairments.

♿ Accessibility Improvements

  • Contrast Ratio: Improved from ~2.85:1 to 4.5:1.
  • Strategy: Used "surgical" CSS overrides for specific functional text components. This ensures accessibility compliance without globally darkening the --gray-400 token, which is still used for decorative or non-text elements where high contrast is less critical.

🎨 Visual Polish

The labels now have a more grounded, readable appearance (var(--gray-700)) while maintaining the intended visual hierarchy of the section.

🧪 Verification

  • Verified using a Playwright script (verify_contrast.py) that calculates the contrast ratio of live elements via getComputedStyle.
  • Manual visual inspection of verification.png confirms the layout remains clean and professional.
  • Logged the architectural decision in .Jules/palette.md.
