src/pages/url-preview-demo.tsx

          <form onSubmit={handleSubmit} className="tw-space-y-4">
            <div>
-              <label htmlFor="url" className="tw-block tw-text-sm tw-font-medium tw-text-gray-700 tw-mb-2">
+              <label htmlFor="url" className="tw-block tw-text-sm tw-font-medium tw-text-gray-200 tw-mb-2">


The label text color tw-text-gray-200 (Slate) may not provide sufficient contrast against white backgrounds. According to WCAG AA standards, text should have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. Consider using tw-text-gray-300 (Charcoal) or darker for better readability.

src/pages/url-preview-demo.tsx

                    setSubmittedUrl(exampleUrl);
                  }}
-                  className="tw-px-3 tw-py-1 tw-text-sm tw-bg-gray-100 tw-text-gray-700 tw-rounded-md hover:tw-bg-gray-200 tw-transition-colors"

The button has both background tw-bg-gray-100 (Silver) and text tw-text-gray-200 (Slate) which creates poor contrast. For better accessibility, the text should be darker (e.g., tw-text-gray-400 or tw-text-ink) to ensure readability against the light gray background.

Suggested change

                                product.availableForSale
                                    ? "tw-bg-primary tw-text-white hover:tw-bg-primary-dark hover:tw-shadow-xl disabled:tw-opacity-50 disabled:tw-cursor-not-allowed"
-                                    : "tw-bg-gray-300 tw-text-gray-600 tw-cursor-not-allowed"

The disabled button state uses the same color for both background and text (tw-gray-300), making the text invisible. The text should use a contrasting color, such as tw-text-gray-50 or tw-text-white, to ensure disabled state is still readable.

The button text color tw-text-gray-400 (Dark Gray) on tw-bg-gray-50 (Off White) background may not provide sufficient contrast. Consider using a darker text color like tw-text-ink for better readability.

Suggested change

+                    : 'tw-bg-gray-100 tw-text-gray-400'


The assistant message uses tw-text-gray-400 (Dark Gray) on tw-bg-gray-100 (Silver) background, which may not provide sufficient contrast. Consider using tw-text-ink for better readability of AI responses.

                    {!product.availableForSale && (
                        <div className="tw-absolute tw-inset-0 tw-bg-black/50 tw-flex tw-items-center tw-justify-center">
-                            <span className="tw-bg-white tw-px-4 tw-py-2 tw-rounded-full tw-font-bold tw-text-gray-800">

The "Sold Out" label uses tw-text-gray-400 (Dark Gray) on white background, which should provide adequate contrast. However, verify this meets WCAG AA standards (4.5:1 ratio), as darker text like tw-text-ink would be safer.

Suggested change

<span className="tw-bg-white tw-px-4 tw-py-2 tw-rounded-full tw-font-bold tw-text-gray-400">

<span className="tw-bg-white tw-px-4 tw-py-2 tw-rounded-full tw-font-bold tw-text-ink">

            {stats.map((stat) => (
                <div key={stat.label} className="tw-rounded-lg tw-bg-white tw-p-6 tw-shadow-md">
-                    <h3 className="tw-text-lg tw-font-semibold tw-text-gray-800">{stat.label}</h3>
+                    <h3 className="tw-text-lg tw-font-semibold tw-text-gray-400">{stat.label}</h3>


Using tw-text-gray-400 for admin dashboard stat labels is inconsistent with the pattern elsewhere in the codebase where headings use tw-text-ink. Consider using tw-text-gray-200 or tw-text-ink for consistency with other heading styles.

The button uses white text (tw-text-white) on a light background (tw-bg-gray-50), which creates extremely poor contrast and makes the button text invisible. The text color should be changed to a dark color like tw-text-ink or tw-text-gray-400.
