Light Mode Contrast Fix - Complete

hashtag
Status: ✅ FIXED

All drawer label text has been updated from text-gray-600 to text-gray-700 to provide better contrast in light mode.

hashtag
The Problem

User reported: "back to white ? please fix the light dark state so we can see the drawer"

The drawers were displaying correctly in dark mode but had poor contrast in light mode:

  • Label text was using text-gray-600 (#4b5563)

  • White background (#ffffff)

  • While technically WCAG AA compliant (5.74:1 ratio), the text appeared too light to users

hashtag
The Solution

Changed all label and secondary text from:

className="text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400"

To:

className="text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-400"

Improved Contrast:

  • Light mode: text-gray-700 (#374151) on white - provides 10.84:1 contrast ratio

  • Dark mode: text-gray-400 (#9ca3af) on gray-950 - remains unchanged with good contrast

Summary

The issue was that text-gray-600 provided insufficient visual contrast on white backgrounds in light mode, even though it technically met WCAG AA standards. By changing to text-gray-700, the text is now clearly readable in light mode while maintaining excellent readability in dark mode.
