Re: The WAVE reports "1x very low contrast"

Yep, it's a rather obscure false positive on the <title> within the
SVG. Chrome (at least) has recently changed the way that these
elements are styled, even though they are not visually rendered, thus
they are now within the scope of WAVE's contrast checking. We've had a
fix for this in place internally for a while (including our logic when
the WebAIM Million analysis was conducted), but I just pushed this fix
into production. You may need to refresh, but this will no longer be
flagged as a contrast error.

Thanks,
