Comment (by esmi):

 I've been giving this admin skin some more thought and I've come to a
 fairly heretical conclusion regarding the contrast issues.

 Forget about them!

 Why? Because there is a choice of skins, so no one is forced to use the
 blue skin. To my mind, it would make sense to focus on ensuring that all
 elements in the grey skin meets the contrast requirements and deliberately
 keep this as a low-contrast skin. A significant number of dyslexic users
 actually '''prefer''' low contrasts (ie significantly lower than those
 referenced in WCAG), so there are real benefits to doing nothing in this
 particular case.
