Lighthouse disagrees, Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio.

I guess that's why the OP complains as well. I do wonder if none of the other Medium themes have a better contrast, but the OP obviously felt that they needed to explain their (lack of) choice of non-contrasty colours.
