Research direction

Inspect default.hbs lines 27-44, where JavaScript updates the text color, and review the related theme styling. Test the page with JavaScript disabled against a dark background; done means the text remains readable without the script.

Description

Since Source uses JavaScript to update the text color (https://github.com/TryGhost/Source/blob/main/default.hbs#L27-L44), the text is not readable when JavaScript is disabled and the background color is dark.
