Building a Quiz Step 46 - not code related question. (answer not here)

Ok I undrstand that at this stage I should be somewhat familiar with most things covered so far, but sometimes they take these giants leaps of faith.

This following phrase got me. It has been spinning in my mind. Because it just doesn’t make any sense to me, yet… the way it is written vs what is expected from us to code.
I got the code right, it’s just worth mentioning. Perhaps a step in between the last time we spoke ratios, to this Quiz Step 46. We haven’t dealt with that since we initially spoke about it several projects ago. Just saying, it’d be nice to be re-wound with the information before it is assumed I absolutely memorized it the first and only time it was taught.

“Change the font color of all the anchor elements within the list elements to something with a contrast ratio of at least 7:1.”

OK! … So this is color theory… I think. I hope.

Because even after I got the answer right, I still didn’t see any changes to my code. So I still didn’t understand what the hell it is that I did.

So I am hoping someone can round it out for me and be blessed by the coding gods that someone can point me in the direction of an article or something, please, to learn what it is I missed. May the coding gods bless ye with many children.

oh… and then there is this:

And also, with the ligatures in the Styles document.

With the selector using the > when it asks for me to select the lists from the navigator menu… How is that connection automatically made from that sentence to:
nav > ul > li {
}

?

What color did you change it to? In my browser, by default, the nav links are blue and you can barely see them on the black background. If I change their color to white then they become white and are clearly visible.

Requirements for minimum color contrast are part of the WCAG accessibility guidelines. MDN has a decent explanation.

I changed it to some almost white, creamy color and it passed. In the next step, they changed it to their preference of #dfdfe2. I just went on the color wheel and looked for an almost white color and typed the # number in their and it passed.

Thanks for the reads, I’ll be diving into that now.

Cheers!
