I think that the question is simpler than does it meet the accessibility standard. Just ask them if they would like people to be able to see it. Low contrast icons will be missed or difficult to find for more people than just those with vision impairments when working in many mobile environments - like outside.

If they are not worried whether people can see them the next question would be why are they there?
