Hey @simrell and @supersatanson, thanks for surfacing this feedback.
Some context – when planning this feature, we decided to set a minimum color contrast threshold to ensure that creators would pick colors that are accessible to patrons and visitors. We set the threshold value to be 4.0, a bit lower than the WCAG recommendation of 4.5 for normal text (such as the colored links on your page).
We discussed this today and agreed that the threshold ought to be less strict, so we’ve lowered it to 3.5! When you go to edit your page, you should be able to choose from more options. We still recommend choosing a color above 4.0 or even 4.5 – here’s a tool you can use to get the contrast of a color.
