I use powermapper.com to audit our sites for Standards and Accessibility compatibility and compliance. Here are a few issues it detected with Gingers CSS

Priority 1 Ensure that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup. This style only contains a color change. Ensure that each CSS style contains style properties other than color and background-color.

Line 126 WCAG 2.0 A 1.4.1 Section 508 (2017) A 1.4.1

126 .ginger_container.light{
127 background-color: #f7f9fc; color: #03005b; }

Priority 2 If you set any of the colors on the BODY or A elements you must set all of them.
In HTML the color attributes are TEXT, BGCOLOR, LINK, ALINK and VLINK. In CSS the attributes are COLOR and BACKGROUND-COLOR. Some users have browser defaults set to white text on a black background, so setting one color without setting the others can result in black text on a black background. High contrast mode on Windows turns off background images so you must set a background-color in addition to a background-image.

Line 128 WCAG 2.0 AA F24 Section 508 (2017) AA F24

128 a.ginger_btn.ginger-accept, a.ginger_btn.ginger-disable, .ginger_btn{

129 background: #d1d1d1 !important;
