New description:

 Twenty Fourteen has a few accessibility issues that I've found:

 * Remove title attributes on featured image permalinks and entry meta.
 There may be others as well.
 * A few color contrast issues (our goal is a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 in
 text below 18px):
  * gray on white (meta, blockquotes) is 3.36:1. recommended: replace with
 767676
  * green on white (links) is 3.13 recommended: replace with 24890d
  * dark gray on black (site description & colophon) 3.7:1; change the
 alpha value to 0.5 for a 5.2:1 ratio
 * The search button in toolbar can't be focused with the keyboard
 * Dropdown menus aren't keyboard accessible (note that this is true of
 nearly all themes)
 * There's no visible focus on tag links. They should match the focus
 style.

 This is a first pass; please comment with any additional issues.

Comment (by sabreuse):

 related: #24766 deals with title attributes in core functions. Patches on
 this ticket should only deal with title attributes that are added in theme
 files.
