Description
I think this might be an issue for all of the themes under this repo but this is definitely an issue for a11y-light.
Between the background color of the code block and the background color of a highlighted line, WCAG guidelines require that the contrast ratio between those two to be 3:1, but it's much less.
I suspect that it's not possible (or very hard) to find a color palette that meets the following three criteria:
- 8 different text colors that contrast at least 4.5:1 against the background color
- Those same colors contrast 4.5:1 against the line highlight color
- The line highlight color contrasts 3:1 against the background color
Eric Bailey's solution was to put a top and bottom border on highlighted lines. We could do the same thing but we would have to modify the CSS that we get back from Pygments, which we already do in the generate_css() function in utils.py.
