Audit finding

Low icon contrast

User impact

People with low vision or colour-vision deficiencies may not be able to perceive text, controls, focus states, or status indicators reliably.

Remediation plan

Update the shared design tokens, theme styles, and component states so the affected text, icons, indicators, and controls are perceivable in all supported states.

Steps to reproduce (guided tour example)

  1. Open the Atum dashboard and navigate to a guided tour (within dropdown in header).
  2. Locate the "Cancel" button icon.
  3. Measure its boundary and graphic contrast against the background.
  4. Repeat in focus, hover, selected, and disabled states.
  5. Observe insufficient non-text contrast.

Version

6.1

Expected result

All icons meet contrast threshold requirements (3:1 or above).

Actual result

Multiple elements in the user journeys fail this threshold.
