Description
Even after the admin colors were updated with the new ones in #31234, there are still some occurrences of the #777777
grey. When used on a white background, the resulting contrast ratio is... 4.48:1 :) Should be 4.5:1.
Of course I'd agree it's a very subtle difference and the requirement is substantially respected but since there's the new #72777c
grey available, why not just replace it?
On darker backgrounds, like for example for the "about text" in the About/Credits/Freedoms screens and in the footer, it should be replaced with a darker grey.
The login screen and the TinyMCE icons have their own tickets, I'd propose to make a patch to take care of all the other occurrences of #777777
.

Given the scope of options available for using #777777
at WCAG AA, this seems like a must-have to me.

Replying to joedolson:
As far as I know, it's mostly (exclusively?) used on white or light grey backgrounds, not on grey backgrounds. Am I missing something?

Updated patch with the new "dark medium gray" from Hugo Baeta.
First pass, removes all the residual occurrences of
#777
except for the login screen and TinyMCE.
