What changed
Why
The live footer container had the intended warm light background and dark
foreground, but MkDocs Material applies semi-transparent white directly to
.md-copyright__highlightand footer links. Those child declarations overrodethe inherited brand color, producing approximately 1.01:1 white-on-white
contrast in light/system mode.
The fixed light palette computes to 7.92:1 for copyright text and 5.98:1 for
links/icons on the footer background, exceeding WCAG AA for normal text. Dark
visible text remains 9.39:1.
