Use of Color

The dates that have"events" are demarcated using color and event severity is also demarcated using color.

provide extra information in the date links that includes that there are "events" on the chosen date and the severity level of those "events"

Major

 

Sufficient Contrast

The red default background color (#FF0000) for high priority events and the link color for date links (#3355BB and #3333FF) have a color contrast ratio of 1.7:1.

The "eventcount" numbers for events on each day done not meet the minimum color contrast ratio for the gray text (#777777) on red (#FF0000) or green (#00FF00) backgrounds. The ratio varies from 1.1:1(red) to 3.3:1 (green)

Use pure black (#000) for the date links links instead because with the red background (#FF0000) this color combination has a 5.3:1 color contrast ratio.

Change the text to pure black (#000) the color contrast ratios improve to 5.3:1 (red) and 15.3:1 (green)

Labels

The month navigation buttons "<" and ">" only contain ascii characters.

On the calendar summary options page there are multiple form controls with the same label text.
