    Actual Results

    The "Unified" and "Side-by-Side" images fail to meet the required minimum color contrast ratio in not selected state.
    Details:
    Foreground color - #DFE1E5
    Foreground color - #FFFFFF
    Current ratio - 1.3:1

    Expected Results

    For the key parts of all the informative images, ensure that the contrast between foreground, background or adjacent colors is 3:1 to make the image's information accessible for low vision and color-blind users.

    Workaround

    Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour.
