Current vs. Proposed
Body Text
Currently, all body-text (headings, paragraph text, image captions, etc) are set to #000000 (black), which is a bit too strong. To align with an upcoming colors refactor in the apps, let's align with that proposal of #1A1A1A aka $gray-900 – from this palette.
Inline Text Links
The color of inline text links is currently something around #027AFF (see left on example above). Let's switch to use $blue-500 (#016087) for alignment.
I've voiced a concern that this blue feels like it doesn't provide enough contrast against the $gray-900 text, especially when not underlined, but it's an improvement, and it passes color contrast tests on a white background.
Note: we aren't currently underlining text links on Android – we should change this for accessibility sake.
