Research direction

Start by locating the search bar styles and the colors used for user input and result subtitles. Check both desktop and mobile presentations against the RGAA 4.5:1 contrast requirement. Done means the affected text has sufficient contrast in both versions and the revised palette is visually verified.

We can find the same issue on the mobile phone version.
This is below the RGAA treshold of 4.5 (RGAA critère 3.2 https://accessibilite.numerique.gouv.fr/methode/criteres-et-tests/#3)

To fix : rework the color palette for this part.
