Contrast is the rare accessibility fix that also makes your site look better to everyone. WCAG AA asks for a 4.5:1 ratio for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Most sites fail it in the same three places: light-gray helper text, pale placeholder labels, and washed-out button states.
Run your palette through a contrast checker once, fix the tokens at the source, and you have solved it everywhere at once.
