Check the footer color

[Chris Johnston]

Footer should be #F7F7F7. Please check to see if it is.

small text with a low contrast isn't great for accessibility

[Chris Johnston (cjohnston)]

Not our design.. That would need to be taken up with the design team.

[Chris Johnston (cjohnston)]

This is not an a11y bug. The bug is to fix the color to match what the design team specified. If you believe that the colors the design team specified are an a11y bug, please take it up with them.

at the moment it is #EEECEA as specified in default.css on line 263 and 264
#page-footer { background:url("../images/footer.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #EEECEA; }
#page-footer .container { background:url("../images/footer.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #EEECEA; padding:0px 10px; width:960px; }

so I guess they should be changed from #EEECEA to #F7F7F7

I believe that this needs to be fixed in light-base-theme and
light-django-theme of the ubuntu-website project.. Also there is a footer
image that needs the color change iirc.

http://loco.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-website/media/images/footer.png is a 5x3 png fading from dark to light, the three shades are #9f9d9c #c6c4c3 #e1dfdd so none of which are a pure grey and none are #EEECEA to #F7F7F7 but they are both heading in that general direction. I would be inclined not to change it because there it doesn't look worse with the change of the background colour, we are not creating a new missmatch, and there is no basis for any of those colours in the design toolkit.

loco directory includes the light-django-theme in a subfolder called ubuntu_website and it is in here that the problem lies thus fixing it in light-django-theme fixes it in loco directory, just needs a deployment of that theme to the loco directory to fix it but that isn't in the bzr branch of loco-directory itself.

Added in rev. 31.

Marking fix released. Will look again after the new guidelines are released.
