conundrum with sufficient contrast on menu items

I'm in a real pickle trying to figure out how to keep sufficient contrast on my menu items on a new development site<development%20site> where I am trying to implement new branding colors. . At full desktop size, no problem, but as I shrink the browser (before I get into the media query that will bring shrink the menu to a hamburger menu) I begin to lose some of my menu items if I keep the font the same size. If I make the font smaller, then I will lose sufficient contrast.


Changing the colors is not an option. These are new branding colors our communications dept came up with .
The current site is here<https://www.sbctc.edu/>. It has the same contrast issues, but the font gets smaller to make the menu items not disappear.

I'm hoping someone has a solution I haven't thought of, other than changing the media query to bring in the hamburger menu sooner.
