-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
The Django admin’s light theme uses a light blue for links within text,
with no other distinction of what is a link. This is problematic for two
reasons:
- The current shade of blue, `#447e9b`, doesn’t have enough contrast
against the white body background.
- For people with color blindness, there is no visual cue that a link is a
link.
For those reasons, I would recommend:
- Changing the link color of `--link-fg`. My recommendation would be to
use an ever-so-slightly darker `#437c98` (1% less lightness in HSL
representation)
- Introduce an underline for all links within body text, so they can be
identified unambiguously.
