Improve default colour contrast between visited and unvisited links
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I often find it hard to differentiate between links using Vector's default colours for visited: and unvisited links. My contrast analyser tool, CCA, tells me the difference between them fails WCAG's "AA" level test for contrast.

I know I can fix this with a local style sheet, but presumably it affects other users, too.

Aklapper renamed this task from Improve default colour contrast between visited and unvisted links to Improve default colour contrast between visited and unvisited links.Sep 21 2019, 10:00 PM

@Pigsonthewing after thinking about it a bit more I think it's necessary to discuss both improvements together. I've updated T213778 to include the issue described in this task. Please let me know if I missed anything.
