This fixes some errors from my testing branch. I thought it might be a good idea to get these on a dedicated branch.

Explicitly it fixes https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.9/color-contrast and Ensure links are distinguished from surrounding text in a way that does not rely on color which is part of WCAG 2.1 (A), WCAG 2.0 (A), WCAG 2.2 (A), Trusted Tester and EN 301 549

This gives us at least a 5.40:1 contrast ratio on all backgrounds. Which is enough for the AA requirements.

This seems to have a negative side effect on e.g. CTAs
