The Drupal accessibility team is in the process of gradually auditing all the contrib projects contained in Drupal CMS. The following meta summarizes all accessibility related issues found so far, concerning the Gin theme.
It has to be noted that the list of remaining tasks has to be extended after axecore tests will be available for core and contrib projects. Otherwise it would be impossible with that high number of possible combinations of focus and accent colors to ensure a regression will slip back in the future. Currently a11y tests are being solidified for core in #2857808: Automate Accessibility Checks for Core and #3338664: Migrate Nightwatch Axe tests to PHPUnit, enabling them for projects in contrib would be the next step. In regard to automated tests it has to be pointed out that semi-transparent colors can’t be tested for color contrast.

mgiffordThanks so much @rkoller for this epic accessibility review. Many of the issues here will improve usability of Drupal CMS as well as of course accessibility. Gin is more complex than many other themes. It is important here that we give users good defaults, while striving to keep the flexibility which is built into this great theme. I look forward to engaging to find ways we can incorporate these improvements into Drupal sites moving forward.
