The palette has two light accents and one very dark one, and a control changes its FILL on hover and press. Paper text that reads at 18:1 on the resting near-black chip inverts to paper-on-yellow the moment the pointer arrives, which is 1.1:1 — invisible. That is the standard way a stylised UI becomes unreadable, and it was live on the OptionButton dropdown that every settings row uses: PopupMenu draws its papaya hover fill but keeps `font_color` unless `font_hover_color` is set, and it was not set. So the label now follows the fill. `ink_for(fill)` picks the legible glyph colour by contrast ratio, and every state's text, icon and outline is derived from its own fill through it — including the states nobody remembers exist: `hover_pressed` on a toggle (a CheckButton read as OFF while you touched it), icon colours on a CheckBox that is all icon, and the list hover that used to be the same papaya as list SELECTION, so the row you pointed at looked like the row you had chosen. debug/ui_contrast_check.gd interrogates the BUILT theme rather than the palette — a table compared against itself agrees by construction and catches nothing — and fails below the WCAG floor. It found the PopupMenu gap, a Tree hover asking for a `font_hovered_color` Godot does not have, and the health bar's readout at 2.4:1 over its own fill. That last one is not fixable as a colour pair: a centred readout straddles a hot papaya fill and a near-black trough, and no single colour beats both. What carries it is the heavy ink outline this theme puts on every glyph, which is its first stated rule and the same mechanism that keeps menu text legible straight over the 3D scene. The check models that as a fallback route — outline vs backdrop 3:1, glyph vs outline 4.5:1, at least 4 px — granted only where the backdrop genuinely varies, and substituting two ratios for one rather than waiving the requirement. Disabled text moves from 3.2:1 to 5.2:1 on the way past. A greyed-out "Start Match" is information; an illegible smudge is not. Also styled, because the theme had simply never mentioned them and Godot's defaults are grey-on-grey: scrollbars, Tree, SpinBox, ProgressBar, tooltips, LineEdit read-only and selected text. 108 pairs checked, all passing.
