      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open the Statuspage home page.
      2. Open an existing scheduled maintenance, or create a new one.
      3. Navigate to the scheduled maintenance details section on the page (scroll down if needed).
      4. Locate the event date and time text on the right-hand side.
      5. Use the CCA testing tool to check the color contrast.
      6. Observe that the color contrast between the mentioned text and the background is insufficient.

      Actual Results

      The Event date and time timstamp text "Scheduled for Mar 5, 2026 08:00-11:00 UTC" displayed in the Scheduled Maintenance section with #888888 foreground color has an insufficient color contrast ratio of 3.5:1 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 Results

      The contrast ratio between the foreground and background color should be sufficient. Ensure that the color contrast of the timestamp texts meet the minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 with it’s background.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
