A user has reported it is hard for them to read the grey on grey text.

I checked the site out with some of the online tools for testing accessibility.

We appear to pass all the contrast checks, however there's one which we only "sort of pass" in relation to outgoing messages:

There's another tool which complains about some of the text in the top banner:

This is only one person saying they're having difficulty, but perhaps ought be looked into.
