Issue Summary
The color contrast for the “Search", and "Filter" texts do not meet the minimum color contrast ratio i.e. 4.5:1.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the home page
- Activate the "Spaces" menu > Select "Space directory" link
- Navigate to the mentioned instance.
- Use any color contrast testing tool to check the color contrast.
- Observe that the color contrast between the foreground text and the background is insufficient.

Actual Result
There are some standard text with background/foreground color combinations having an insufficient contrast ratio.
- The "Filter" text with #7A869A foreground color has an insufficient color contrast ratio of 3.6:1 with #FAFBFC background color.
- The "Search" text with #8993A4 foreground color has an insufficient color contrast ratio of 3.1:1 with #FFFFFF background color.
This will make it difficult for people with low vision and color blindness to read standard text elements that have insufficient contrast.
Expected Result
The contrast ratio between foreground text and background for the standard text should be sufficient.
On all pages, ensure that each foreground/background color combination presents a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for standard text.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
