Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

Steps to Reproduce:

First set the Preferences to Dark Mode [ cmd + shitf + p] -> preferences : Color Theme -> e.g. Dark Modern or any dark mode option. Open any Java file. Validate the Java icon on side panel on the left.

Color Contrast for "J" symbol for generated java classes under WCA4z Side Panel violates 1.4.3 Contrast requirement. This "J" symbol can also be seen in the tab view as well which also violates the requirement as shown below:

This icon will change colour between themes, for example the hex value in Dark Modern theme is #cc3e44, while in Light Modern it's #b8383d. As per the the guidelines there should be a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1.
