Comment:

 Hello @ate-up-with-motor and thank you again for opening this ticket!
 It was discussed durign last week's accessibility bug scrub.
 While it would be nice if all color schemes were accessible (the summary
 of the ticket points in that direction), revising all of them to make them
 accessible would be very time consuming, also given that there are
 explorations to reconsider some color schemes and possibly retire some of
 them (see #50575).
 Also, the accessibility team made the choice log ago not to require
 alternate schemes to meet high contrast guidelines (given that there are
 populations that require low contrast for better access, and that this
 isn't captured by accessibility guidelines).
 As such, the team opted for closing this issue. If there are specific
 problematic colors in a certain color scheme, they can be changed in a
 specific ticket.
 Also, this ticket started a discussion on how to better highlight which
 color schemes are accessible and which are not (discussion will happen in
 a new ticket), so it was still worth opening.
