Audit finding
Low icon and checkbox 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
- Open the Atum Articles listview
- Locate the icons and checkboxes next to each article.
- Measure their borders, icons, and states against the background.
- Repeat in focus, hover, checked, and disabled states.
- Observe insufficient non-text contrast.
