Description
According to https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/G183, links and normal text should have at least a colour contrast ratio of 3:1.
From the WebAIM blog entry "WCAG 2.0 and Link Colors":
So if you combine these two requirements, in order to be Level AA conformant, your page must have all of the following:
A 4.5:1 contrast between the non-link text color and the background.
A 4.5:1 contrast between the link text color and the background.
A 3:1 contrast between the link text color and the surrounding non-link text color.
Currently, the normal text has a colour of "#373A3C" while links have a colour of "#1177D1" which results in a colour contrast ratio of 2.5:1.
