Actual Results

Color #616F86 alone is used to distinguish "Atlassian Bitbucket", "Documentation", "Request a feature" and so on links present in the footer section from the #616F86surrounding text. These mentioned links have a low contrast ratio of 1:1 with the surrounding text. This will make it difficult for low vision users and those with color-blindness to distinguish mentioned links within the block of text.

Expected Results

Users should be able to easily identify the mentioned links within the block of text.

Apply the following changes:

• To make it easy for all users to recognise the mentioned links the best practice is to persistently underline them or provide any other visual cue such as formatting the text as bold or italic.
• If the above solution is not feasible, change the color of the mentioned links so that they have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 with the surrounding text.
