Description

Thank you for this great theme! A lot of people are using this downstream because it makes presenting high quality information easy.

There are a dozen or so issues mostly related to contrast that would be great to have fixed here in the upstream.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Research direction
The issue references a WebAIM report on https://learn.netlify.app/en/ that lists contrast errors. Start by reviewing the report to identify specific elements and their color codes. Then inspect the CSS variables and theme styles in the Hugo theme to adjust foreground/background colors to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios. Check the theme's partials and layout files for hardcoded colors.
