 In the "Edit Comment" screen, the "Status" box has three radio buttons
 with colored labels. The current orange and red don't have a sufficient
 color contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1.

 Quickly [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/design/p1464371165001669
 discussed on the Slack design channel] and agreed to simply remove the
 colors, see screenshot below.

 Worth noting orange it's basically impossible to contrast with a white
 background unless it's turned to a nearly-red or nearly-brown color. Also,
 it was pointed out the current red "Spam" is competing with the red "Move
 to Trash" below.
