Text contrast too low on Android apps
Open, LowPublicBUG REPORT

Description

NOTE: This issue also probably happens on the iOS app.

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Open the Wikipedia Android app
  • Go to any page with an image that has a caption
  • Read the caption text

What happens?:
Image caption text contrast is way too low. Checking this with a browser, the contrast is 2.27 on pcs-theme-dark and 2.96 on pcs-theme-black.

What should have happened instead?:
Caption should have better contrast with the page background. Should probably use theme-specific styles.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia): N/A
