Can confirm. The contrast isn't amazing with Breeze Light either. At the moment this isn't an issue that's generically solvable because there will always be *some* color that offers poor contrast with the flag color. Options include: 1. Use a flag icon with a different color that's not as close to the default highlight color 2. Change the colorful flag icons icon to add a border around the flags so that there's at least *some* contrast if the highlight color is similar to the flag color 3. Make the flag colors dynamic, using colors from the color scheme to ensure contrast with the highlight color 1 is lazy and easy and maybe the best approach for now. 2 would also work but require icon design work and maybe make the flags look worse 3 isn't possible right now because we don't have enough colors in the color scheme What do you think, Justin? I think 2 is the best option, if things are low contrast, and we can't fix that, we can add separation. |
