      Actual Results

      Luminosity ratio of borderline for the 'email address' edit field is 1.8:1 (Foreground: #bbbbbb,
      Background: #F6F8FA) which is less than the required contrast ratio 3:1.
      <input name="email" id="email" type="text" class="full-width"
      data-js-hook="email-notification-field" autocomplete="email">

      As a result, the user will face difficulty in
      performing the desired action related to that control.

      Expected Results

      Luminosity ratio of borderline for the 'email address' edit field should be equal to or greater
      than the required contrast ratio 3:1.
