"Almost Ready" Box on Homepage is Visually Problematic

The "Almost Ready" box on the homepage (webplatform.org) is a white-text on yellowish background, which is visually very problematic to follow. I think we should change it. As advocates of accessibility, this can be contradictory. I understand that there's a reason for such brightness, but I would recommend having a look and discuss the problem.

I'm attaching a picture of how it appears on my system (the original might differ). As you will see, it's extremely tough to read and it was intuition with WPD that I could even read what's written.

Thank you.
