 Thibaud, I don't see any contrast issues with the new color: `#417893`, so
 closing as fixed.

Comment (by Natalia Bidart):

 Pasting
 [https://github.com/django/django/pull/17419#pullrequestreview-1820021243
 the latest comment from the linked PR] to re-puporse this ticket for
 providing admin link underlines:

 {{{
 We had a good chat about this at our latest @django/accessibility meeting.
 We agreed that for now, we should just fix the colours and not add the
 underline.
 We should still do the underline part, but as a new ticket, because:
  * The changes can easily be done separately.
  * Because of the difficulty in deciding what should and shouldn't be
 underlined, it's better to get the less contentious change out first.

New description:

 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.~~

--

Comment:

 The new color have enough contrast when the background is white.
 Unfortunately `--link-fg` is also used with yellow (`#cc`) and gray
 backgrounds (`#f8f8f8`). We should make it even darker to meet AA
 standards, e.g. `#417893`.

Comment:

 A pull request has been added:
 [https://github.com/django/django/pull/16101 PR]. This includes:
 - Changing the default colour to a slightly darkened in light mode (-1%
 lightness in HSL colour space) as requested
 - Adding underline on hover for all default links (add/create links,
 breadcrumbs...) to make links easier to identify

 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.
