I concur with the below recommendation as the WordPress accessibility
guidelines are not the same as WCAG.

I found that when I looked for themes, I always have to audit them. I go
further than WCAG, but some of them were not great even for WCAG 2.0 and
were marked in the accessible ready category on WordPress. So do some
auditing before you choose a theme.

Cheers
