In the name of aesthetics, so many web designers choose color
combinations that look pretty but are sometimes illegible. I can read
the light green font for links, but it's hard. And, if outside, probably
not at all.
Another example is google search. Years ago, after clicking a search
result, the link would change to a different color. That made it easy to
see which links had been viewed and which not. Nowadays, if there is a
change in color, I can't see it.
If a designer is going to do these things, why can't they also offer a
high contrast setting ! Maybe it's time for the ADA people to step in.

I had the same trouble with the Washington Post and complained (to no avail).
Are you red/green color blind? I don’t think designers take that Into account.
On our Bolt, the seat heater shows the heat level with tiny red (I think) dots.
I can’t see them.

I subscribe to Green Car Reports and really enjoy their news and
their format. But I simply cannot see/read their embedded links.
They use a light green font for links and I have to hold my laptop
up to my eyes or use a magnifier to be able to read the link.
I have emailed my objection to their low-contrast light-green color
and font but to no avail. But then I am just one man complaining.
Maybe if you get Green Car Reports and you also find it hard to
read the embedded light-green-links, maybe you too would
be willing to send them a note of feedback.
Just say'in
