The new Staff badge text colors fall short of accessibility standards and are difficult to read

The background color for the Staff badges only has a contrast ratio of 2.63:1 with the text "Staff". This falls short of the WCAG AAA accessibility standard for normal text, which requires a contrast ratio of 7:1. Also, the small badges that appear on comments and home pages are very difficult for me to read without zooming in.

While the AA standard only requires a ratio of 4.5:1, I'd highly suggest that they conform to the AAA standard, because the badges that show in some places (e.g. comments, home pages, etc.) are smaller than normal text.

The new Staff badge text colors fall short of accessibility standards and are difficult to read

The background color for the Staff badges only has a contrast ratio of 2.63:1 with the text "Staff". This falls far short of the WCAG AAA accessibility standard for normal text, which requires a contrast ratio of 7:1.
