Update Wikidata mobile skin colors for dark mode
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Wikidata now looks great in dark mode – on desktop. On mobile, there are still a bunch of colors that aren’t Codex tokens.

Example:

  • The heading area (label, description, aliases) is unreadable (dark on dark).
  • The termbox is readable (dark on light), but jarring.
  • The statements are readable (dark on light), but jarring.
  • The sitelinks are fine (light on dark).

Re: The heading area (label, description, aliases) is unreadable (dark on dark).

This would be the most problematic subissue – hopefully it's a low hanging fruit.

Currently the item title is only readable after selecting it manually.
