You've set a specific color for some text on your page but haven't set a background color for it. This can be risky. If a user has a custom browser theme (like a high-contrast mode), your white text might end up on a white background, making it impossible to read. It's always safer to define both.
.error-message { color: white; } /* What if the background is also white? */Whenever you define a `color`, also define a `background-color` to guarantee a readable contrast.
.error-message {
color: white;
background-color: #d9534f; /* Now it's always readable */
}This simple practice is a key part of accessible web design. It ensures that your content is readable for all users, regardless of their browser settings or visual impairments.
This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
