Summary of Issue: 1.4.3 & 1.4.5 Contrast ratio of disabled elements
Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):
Disabled elements should have a lower contrast ratio for the functional purpose of not drawing attention.





Proposed Change:
1.4.3 Text (and images of text) have a contrast ratio of at least 5:1, except if the text is pure decoration. Larger-scale text, images of text, and disabled components can have a contrast ratio of 3:1.



1.4.5 Text (and images of text) have a contrast ratio of at least 7:1, except if the text is pure decoration. Larger-scale text, images of text, and disabled components can have a contrast ratio of 5:1.
