Additional Information

The WCAG guidelines indicate that hover states for controls are not required to meet a 3:1 contrast ratio. While strong hover effects are acknowledged to be distracting, the current implementation complies with applicable standards and aligns with recognized design preferences and best practices. Refer to this documentation https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/non-text-contrast for more information.
