If we want to go this direction we need to adapt the documentation to include the new theme colors. Also, we need to provide a breaking change release note. |

438-450: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueHardcoded contrast colors diverge from the composable-based approach used elsewhere in this PR.
These literal hex values (
#C62828/#EF5350) pass 4.5:1 against their visible backgrounds (~5.2-6:1 by manual calculation), but they bypass the theme system entirely and won't stay in sync iftabs-bar-background/v-app-barcolors change later — unlikeuseErrorChipColor, which derives its override dynamically from the active theme. Consider sourcing these from theme tokens (or documenting why this button is intentionally exempt from the dynamic approach).Separately, per the PR discussion, a reviewer requested that documentation be updated to list the new theme colors and that the release note identify this as a breaking change before proceeding — worth confirming that's been addressed before merge.

Rework the Vuetify theme color tokens so all interactive text and status labels achieve a 7:1 contrast ratio (WCAG 2.1 AA) in both light and dark mode. - Switch primary/anchor from gardener-green to teal (#005F4E light, #4DB6AC dark) which clears 7:1 on the respective surfaces - Set dark surface to #121212 / background to #0D0D0D (Material Design 3 spec values, darker than the Vuetify default) to give mid-range teals enough contrast headroom - Replace all status tokens (error, warning, success, info, unknown) with AAA-compliant hex values split per theme - Add logout token (#880E4F light, #F8BBD0 dark) used by the logout button in GMainToolbar instead of the hardcoded pink color - Add chip-error token for flat error chips in GSeedStatusTag (#FF6B6B light, #FF7070 dark) - vivid alarm red with dark text at 7:1 - Simplify GShootHealthDonut by removing the JS dark-mode color overrides now that the theme tokens are correct Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> fix(frontend): improve nav active contrast and refine theme tokens fix(frontend): unify shoot and seed status chip colors and contrast fix(frontend): unify teal color family and fix error token contrast - Align primary, anchor, chip-ready and toolbar-background to #0a7357 so purpose tags, version chips and readiness chips all share the same teal hue; the slightly darker shade also passes WCAG AA in tonal mode - Fix dark error token: switch from red.darken2 to red.lighten1 so create/reconcile-failed icons are visible on the dark surface (was failing WCAG AA) - Lighten light error token from #B11616 to red.darken2 so error icons are less visually heavy while still meeting WCAG AA Signed-off-by: julestree <julia.baum@sap.com>

What this PR does / why we need it:
This is a first attempt to make the UI of the dashboard compliant with WCAG contrast guidelines. It changes the colors for both light and dark modes, so that they have at least 4.5:1 contrast ratio (AA rating), without changing the color theme too much.
Notable changes
tonalPrimary,flatPrimary,on-flatPrimary, etc.) which are calculated to ensure tonal and flat chips/alerts always meet contrast requirementstonalWarning) viafrontend.themesconfig. This overrides the calculated colorsCustomizing the tonal colors
The tonal chip colors are adjusted automatically for contrast. To override a specific tonal color without changing the base color, set the tonal token directly by adjusting the Helm values file. For example for the tonalWarning color
Restoring the previous colors
To restore the previous colors, set the following in your Helm values:
