Do breadcrumbs fall under use of color in regards to links when the links
are only distinguished by color alone and have a contrast ratio of less
than 3:1 compared to the non-link (current page) or are breadcrumbs' links
distinguishable because they are not the last item?
Thanks,
Dona

If one can visually differentiate between the links and the non-linked
content, this WCAG success criterion would not apply. For breadcrumbs,
it's going to be rather subjective if the links are not underlined.
It's a common convention for the last/current item to not be a link.
For optimal usability there should be a clear visual differentiator,
but WCAG doesn't provide specific guidance in this case.
