The background is nearly white at #fcfcfc, and the body copy is an 80% black color (roughly #323232). That is a contrast ratio of 12.49:1, which far exceeds even the most stringent contrast requirements in WCAG 2.1 AAA of 7:1.

The "Color, Color Family, and Grade" callout box has the same color text but an #e6e6e6 background, which produces a contrast ratio of 10.27:1 – also passing.

Everyone has different preferences, but in terms of color contrast they're doing great.
