Polls Beta Accessibility
I've seen the new Discord Poll Beta and as of 23/03/24 on light mode the contrast ratio of the Poll Ui and the background has a contrast ratio of 1:1. I find this terrible when differentiating between the two. Just look at this image.

They're both exactly the same colour.
On dark mode there is at least some difference between the Poll Ui and the background however it's still not good enough with a contrast ratio of 1.09:1.


The WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) requires a contrast ratio of 3:1 for Ui components.
So in conclusion, by changing the colour for the Poll Ui to a suitable contrast ratio it will allow users to better differentiate it from regular chat messages. Thus making Polls more accessible for people with disabilities when Polls are shipped to all servers.
*Note: I have just found out about contrast ratio and WCAG today when researching about this topic.
