I feel compelled to point out the obvious.

After this commit, there is so little difference between all the alert colours (i.e. forground text) as demonstrated by your image, there is little point in actually using these alerts any more.

The flair and simplicity of these alerts is the fact that they are soft and subtle and not bold and contrasting.

The previously accepted and very widely used alert colours are clearly based on a traffic light (RGA) system which would be fairly clear using any common palette. However, on smaller palettes, these new colours will all use the same colour and thus defeat the RBA system.

Personally, I think that If someone has a requirement of WCAG 2.0 Luminance conformance, let them exercise that by overriding the base CSS.

It feels like someone just switched my TV back to "Black & White" - yes, I'm old enough to remember that!

We won't be merging this in. I'm not against ensuring there is proper contrast, but this doesn't look that good. If you wanted to try to find a balance in lightening the background and darkening the text, then we can consider that. Otherwise these kinds of changes will be punted.

Thanks for your work @AlexandrYZ, I'll be implementing this in my environments and my fork.

@mdo - Just wanted to reference my PR about the same topic. The colors are slightly more inline with the current defaults and pass WCAG 2.0 validation mentioned here. #11432
