Color contrast issue with Manuscript (Default child theme)

[stephanie]

Describe the issue or problem
Setting the header color to white on the Manuscript theme causes navigation links to become white on hover, rendering them invisible against the white background. This creates a contrast failure and impacts usability for all users.

Steps I took leading up to the issue

1. Set the theme to: Manuscript (Default child theme)
2. Set white (#FFFFFF) as the header color.
3. Save
4. Navigate to the home page
5. Hover over any navigation menu items.
6. Navigation links turn white on hover and are illegible against the white header background.

What application are you using?
3.5.0.3

Hi @stephanie,

This can likely be mitigated by using a custom stylesheet to change the colours of the links if you’re opting for a white header - Have you tried that?
