Actual Results
CCA fails for the following form controls:
- The #DFE1E5 border of "Affects Version/s", "Assignee", "Component/s" and so on checkboxes have a color contrast ratio of 1.3:1 with #FFFFFF background by default.
- The #DFE1E5 border of "Epic Status checkbox have a color contrast ratio of 1.1:1 with #EBECF0 background when focused.
- The #DFE1E5 border of "Add a comment" input field has color contrast ratio of 1.3:1 with #FFFFFF background by default.
This will make it difficult for people with low vision and color blindness to distinguish the form controls that have insufficient contrast.
Expected Results
Ensure that the color contrast for the foreground color of the borders of all form controls are 3:1 with the background color.
