508 color contrast issues about 18f.gsa.gov HOT 6 CLOSED

Is there a multiple of #18f or some other clever color?

ps: How did you find this out? Would like to know if I need to change things in other projects.

I'm fond of http://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html for checking color contrast

Which of those checkboxes do you use for 508?

I'd recommend aiming for WCAG AA.

Yeah, we'll be good with WCAG AA.
@polastre --
this one scans a site: http://wave.webaim.org/
this one has the same "make it darker" tool for one-offs: http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

it also breaks down normal vs large/header text. some colors are ok for headings, but just not quite dark enough for regular-sized text.
