## 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"](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=FFFFFF&bcolor=F48024). 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.
