4 months ago @KatiePUX I just noticed that this issue is around level AAA compliance.
It is my understanding that we are aiming for level AA compliance.
Therefore, I believe this issue should be closed.
Text was found to contrast with its background in a way that could be difficult for users with a visual impairment to perceive.

Text was found to fail the enhanced text contrast requirements. This instance can be found with the text found within the ‘send a survey’ component. The white text contrasts with the background at a ratio of 4.7:1, which suffices the minimum text contrast requirements; however exceeding this ratio allows more users, especially users with a visual impairment that affects the perception of colour to read text on the page.
