For anyone who cares about accessibility, I finished my "color audit", and as a bonus we now have a wiki page with the color palette of all text in the UI (not sure how that's useful, but ... /shrug).

I bolded all the potential problems. The inventory window has a blue and a red with somewhat poor contrast, and the tracking window has a red and a green that have somewhat poor contrast. All those colors aren't
terrible though: with large enough text they could qualify for AA status. Also, even though they don't look
great against either black or white, they're somewhat readable against both, so these colors might be best when the background will be very inconsistent.
Other than those four, every color seems to have really great (AAA accessible) contrast, assuming it's being paired with the appropriate (white/black) background. And of course, with transparent backgrounds that can't be assumed, but ... that's classic.
I'll try and suggest better colors for those four tomorrow, but first I want to see if I can figure out what their background color is (if it's not black or white they might already be AAA, relative to it).
